Intro: C F C G

Am                                 F
She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hand
C                              G
The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains
Am                        F
She had his children in a log cabin
C                                 G
Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation
                             Am
In the land of the midnight sun
               G
Searching for gold


  C
I am my father's daughter
    G
He has his mother's eyes
Am                         F
I am the product of their sacrifice
  C                           G
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
          Am                      F  C   G
And their stories live in me like holy water
                  C
I am my father's daughter


Am                       F
My father raised me in an old log cabin
C                       G
And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him
Am                                     F
In honkey-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him
                    C
And that old guitar
                      G
He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody
             Am
and I carry on
              G
Searching for gold


  C
I am my father's daughter
   G
I have his eyes
  Am                       F
I am the product of his sacrifice
  C                          G
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
          Am                      F  C  G
And their stories live in me like holy water
                 C
I am my father's daughter


Am               F
And every time I step on stage
C
And the music finds me
Am                     G
I don't need gold to remind me
    C
I am my father's daughter
 G
I have my Grandma's eyes
   Am                           F
I am the product of such sacrifice
   C                         G
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
        Am                       F  C  G
And their stories live in me like holy water
           Am                   F
I am my father's daughter Oh-Oh-OOOH
                C
I am my father's daughter
