My father’s daughter (video) (clip)

Am - F - C - G

Am F

1. She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands,

C - G

the man she would marry was as hard as the mountains.

Am - F

She had his children in a log cabin,

C G

soon I'd be another star in his family’s constellation,

Am G

in the land of the midnight sun, searching for gold.

C G

I am my father's daughter, he has his mother's eyes,

Am F

I am the product of their sacrifice.

C G

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations,

Am - F - C G

and their stories live in me like ho.....ly water.

C

I am my father's daughter.

Am - F

2. My father raised me in an old log cabin

C G

and he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him

Am

in honkey-tonks, and empty bars,

F

just me and him and that old guitar.

C - G

He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody,

Am G

that I carry on, searching for gold.

C - G

I am my father's daughter, I have his eyes,

Am F

I am the product of his sacrifice.

C G

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations

Am - F - C G

and their stories live in me like ho......ly water.

C

I am my father's daughter.

Am - C

+ Every time I step on stage and the music finds me,

Am G

I don't need gold to remind me.

C G

I am my father's daughter, I have my Grandma's eyes,

Am - F

I am the product of such sacrifice.

C G

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations,

Am - F - C G

and their stories live in me like ho.....ly water.

Am F C

I am my father's daughter, oh oh oh oh, I am my father's daughter.
