Doing It By The Book Cifras

[Verse]
G                                            D
When I was a child, there was no one like my daddy
         Am               D            G
wherever he would go, I'd want to tag along.
G                                               C
He lived his life hard, and never took the easy way
              Em                 D              G
I watched him sweat and work his fingers to the bone.
 
[Verse]
G                                                   D
Well I can't forget the time, the neighbors had the fire
      Am         D                  G
daddy didn't hesitate to bring them home.
G                                                     C
And although the times were hard, we made room at our table
         Em                     D                G
and they stayed till they could make it on their own.
 
[Chorus]
G   C                              G
I'm doing it by the Book, I use to hear my daddy say
G           D                          G
We're gonna love one another, and give thanks everyday.
G  C                              Em     D       C
He tried to do the right thing no matter what it took
C          G                               D               G
he said I found I can't go wrong, when I'm doing it by the Book.
 
[Verse]
G                                                     D
Now in these troubled times, when this old world gets crazy
  Am               D              G
I go back to those memories in my head.
G                                            C
When I sat on moma's lap, and daddy read the Bible
C        Em                D             G
I got my strength from the words that he read.
 
[Chorus]
G   C                              G
I'm doing it by the Book, I use to hear my daddy say
            D                          G
we're gonna love one another, and give thanks everyday.
G  C                               Em     D       C
He tried to do the right thing, no matter what it took
C         G                               D               G
he said I found I can't go wrong when I'm doing it by the Book.
