[Verse 1]
         A
I wasn't much more than a baby, I thought he was a bear,
                             E
The way my Daddy carried me around.
     E
They said I learned to walk while holding on to just one finger,
                                              A
On the hand of a man that's standin' six foot three.
    A
Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression.
                                     E
Just somethin' people talked about a lot.
   E
My Daddy wasn't one to try to make no big impression,
                                                 A
Just one heck of a man that worked for what he'd got.

[Chorus]
           D
They don't make men like my Daddy anymore.
              A
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years.
     D                               A                    D
In a great big land of freedom, at a time we really need 'em:
           A                E        A
They don't make 'em like my Daddy anymore.

[Verse 2]
         A
From the Johnson County Coal Camps to the hills of West Virginia,
                                       E
My Daddy worked down in them dark cold mines.
   E
Education didn't count so much as what you had born'd in ya
                                            A
Like the will to live an' a dream of better times.
      A
Daddy never took a hand out; we ate pinto beans and bacon,
                                             E
But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door.
       E
And it only proved one thing to me, when folks start bellyaching:
                                     A
They don't make 'em like my Daddy anymore.

[Chorus]
           D
They don't make men like my Daddy anymore.
              A
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years.
     D                               A                   D
In a great big land of freedom, at a time we really need 'em:
           A                E        A
They don't make 'em like my Daddy anymore.
           A                E        A      A E A
They don't make 'em like my Daddy anymore.
