(Capo 4)
(Intro)
[C] [Am] [F] [G]
(Verse)
He was a [C] giant
And [F] I was just a [G] kid
I was always [C] trying
To do [F] everything he [G] did
I [Am] can still
remember every [C] lesson he [F] taught me
[Dm] Growing up learning how
to [G] be like my [C] old man
(Bridge)
[C] [Am] [F] [G]
(Verse)
He was [C] a lion
We [F] were our father's [G] pride
But I was [C] defiant
When [F] he made me walk [G] the line
[Am] He knew how to lift me up
And [C] when to let me [F] fall
[Dm] Looking back, he always had a [G] plan
My old [C] man
(Chorus)
My [F] old man
Feel the callus on his [C] hands
And [G] dusty overalls
My old [F] man
Now I finally [C] understand
I have a [G] lot to learn
From my [C] old man
(Bridge)
[C] [Am] [F] [G]
(Verse)
Now I'm a [C] giant
Got a [F] son of my [G] own
He's [C] always trying
To go [F] everywhere I [G] go
[Am] Do the best I can to
raise him [C] up the [F] right way
[Dm] Hoping that he someday wants [G] to be
Like his old [C] man
(Violin Solo)
[Am] [G] [F] (x4)
(Chorus)
My old [F] man
I know one day we'll [C] meet again
As he's [G] looking down
My old [F] man
I hope he's proud of who [C] I am
I'm trying to [G] fill the boot
of my [C] old man
My old man
(Outro)
[C] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
