E     A

[Chorus]
A 
im going to quit singing all them sad songs
                        D 
girl i cant stand the pain,
                     A
or the life i sing about now,
                           E
and the one i live is the same,
           A
oh when i sing them old songs of daddys
                          D
seems like everyone comes true,
                      A            E
oh lord help me ,do i have to be,    living proof

[Verse]
A
just the other night after the show,
                        D
an old drunk came up to me
                               A
he said you aint good as your daddy boy
                     E
and you nev--er will be,
        A
then a young girl in old blue jeans
                      D
said im your biggest fan
                           A
lord i know they cant ever understand
E                     A
livings more then one man

[Verse]
           A            
i dont want to be a legend
                     D
i just want to be a man
                      A
but lord you know some-times 
                 E
i need a helping hand
            A
dont let my son ever touch a guitar
                       D
may he never sing the blues
                      A
let him be free dont make him be 
E            A
more living proof

[Chorus]
  A
im going to quit singing all those sad songs
                      D
girl i cant stand the pain,
                       A
or the life i sing to you about 
                          E
and the one i live is the same
       A
when i sing them old songs of daddys
                          D
seems like everyone comes true,
                      A              E       A
oh lord help me ,do i have to be,   living proof
     D                A           E             A
oh o lord help me dont make me be more living proof
