My Old Man – Zac Brown Band

(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]
