Song Title: Delaney Talks to statues
Album Title: Fruitcakes

Verse 1
A       E        B   E
Delaney talks to statues
       A       B         E
As she dances 'round the pool
A          E            B      E
She chases cats through roman ruins
    A        B           E
And stomps on big toadstools
A            E        B       E
She speaks a language all her own
     A    E      B  E
That I cannot discover
A       E       B        E
But she knows I love her so
       A         E         B   E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers

CHORUS
A   E    B    E
Father, daughter
A    E      B  E
Down by the water
A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float
A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat

Verse 2 (same as 1)
Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstand
She's growing up too fast for me
And asking lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I'm looking for suggestions

CHORUS 2 (same as 1)
Father, daughter
Born by the water
Surf's up, sun's down
Life in a beach town

BRIDGE
C#m             G#m
And some of the things I've seen
      Bm                 A
Maybe she won't have to see
C#m                         G#m
But there's a lot I want to pass along
         D              A
That was handed down to me

Verse 3 (same)
Delaney talks to statues
As she dances 'round the pool
She chases cats through Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
Just a little like her mother
And she knows I love her so
When I tuck her 'neath the covers

Chorus 3 (same)
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life's good on our boat
