Dm
grandpa was a miner , and he gave me my black art ,
Dm
glittered rivers of black coal – dust tore our country apart ,
C F
covered in coal – dust , waking up too early in the morning ,
C F D
covered in coal – dust , waiting for the moment the canary sings .

Dm
mama was a mermaid and a carnaby street gal ,
Dm
she could have been a model , but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk ,
C
covered in sea salt , would he , could he be home
F D
when the stars came out to party ,
C
covered in sea salt , yeah i know it was my fault ,
F D
but he always ran away ’cause he didn’t want me .

C F D Gm
oh , Daddy was a sailor , and he gave me a black heart ,
C F D Gm
Daddy was a sailor , the only man that could tear me apart
C F Dm Gm
Daddy , Daddy , Daddy , Daddy , Daddy ,
C F D
Daddy , Daddy , da – A – ddy .

Dm
sister dances salsa , and she cha – cha’s like a queen ,
Dm F
i was a non – believer when she told me i was free ,
C F
aunty emmy was a medium , oh she worked the ouija board .
C F D
seeking out the lost souls , and taking them back to the lord .

C F D Gm
oh , but Daddy still was a sailor , and he gave me a black heart ,
C F D Gm
Daddy was a sailor , the only man that could tear me apart
C F Dm Gm
Daddy , Daddy , Daddy , Daddy , Daddy ,
