[Intro]
(E – A – E – B)
Soft electric guitar, light organ pad, brushes on snare
⸻
[Verse 1]
E
She’s up before the sunrise, coffee in her hand,
A E
Drivin’ down that desert road, doin’ all she can.
A E
Four little faces waitin’, she’s got miles to go,
B E
But she don’t ever slow down, Lord, I taught her so.
⸻
[Chorus 1]
A E
She’s just like her father, strong when times are hard,
A E
Holds her head up high with a workin’ man’s heart.
C#m A
Though I’m up here in heaven, I’m proud of what she’s done,
E B E
Takin’ care of her family, like a father taught his young.
⸻
[Verse 2]
E
Her man wears Navy colors, like I wore my Sunday best,
A E
Servin’ this great country, givin’ all his best.
A E
She keeps that home together, with a will that won’t bend,
B E
And when her back starts achin’, she just breathes and smiles again.
⸻
[Chorus 2]
A E
She’s just like her father, built from the same clay,
A E
Never backs down from the storm, just bows her head and prays.
C#m A
Though I’m watchin’ from the heavens, she’s shinin’ like the sun,
E B E
Takin’ care of her family, like a father taught his young.
⸻
[Bridge]
C#m A
Every tear she hides behind those tired eyes,
E B
I whisper through the wind, “Girl, you’ll be alright.”
C#m A
When the kids are sleepin’, and the house grows still,
E B
I’m the hum in the silence, the strength she feels.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
A E
She’s just like her father, strong when times are hard,
A E
Holds her head up high with that same stubborn heart.
C#m A
And though my work is finished, hers has just begun,
E B E
She’s makin’ me proud in Arizona sun.
⸻
[Outro]
A E
So when the morning breaks, and she faces the day,
A E
Know I’m watchin’ close, not far away.
C#m A
She’s livin’ my dream, carryin’ it farther,
E B E
That’s my girl — she’s just like her father.
(Soft E-chord ring-out with organ swell)
