Verse 1
(C major) I had a drug problem when I was two
Yeah, I was (D minor) drugged at church,
mate, sittin' in the pew
(F major) Had to be quiet and listen
to that bald (C major) -headed, boring preacher
Put my tooth fairy dimes
in the offering plate
And (D minor) by the time that I turned eight
I knew (F major) every word to Amazing Grace
Next thing you (C major) know,
I'm a know -it -all teenager
Burnin' a (D minor) shade tree degree
in our backyard
Bein' (B flat major) daddy's gofer,
patchin' up old cars
Hell, that (F major) drop light steady when it got dark
Or I (G major) heard about it all night long
(D minor) That old man's (F major) words were strong
He (C major) said, jump out ahead for the sky
There was (D minor) no talkin' back or askin' why
(F major) He gave me rope but kept it tight
Knew when (G major) to cut some slack
He (F major) bought (C major) me my first box guitar
Co (D minor) -signed a note for my first car
At (F major) 21, we had my first beer in a bar
Best (G major) friend I'll ever have (C major)
He believed in mercy
and the grace of God
(D minor) Loved me enough not to spare the rod
But (F major) when it came to mama
he was puppy dog soft
(C major) They were made to be together
His head pat on the back
Knocked a chip off his shoulder
Never (D minor) opened his mouth
About his time as a soldier
It's (F major) safe to say that war is finally over
An (C major) d he's safe and sound and heavy
Ah, but it's (D minor) killin' me
To see him lyin' there
All (B flat major) dressed up, brush -cut hair
He (F major) looks so young, life don't seem fair
And (G major) it's hard to understand
That you're gonna mis (D minor) s my old man (F major)
But (C major) he said, jump right ahead for the sky
There was (D minor) no talkin' back or askin' why
(F major) He gave me rope but kept it tight
Knew (G major) when to cut some slack
(F major) He (C major) bought me my first box guitar
(D minor) Co -signed a note from my first car
At (F major) 21 we had my first beer in a bar
Best (G major) friend I'll ever have (F major)
Dam (G major) n, I miss my old (C major) man (D minor) (F major) (G major)
Well, he (C major) bought me my first boxed guitar
Go (D minor) sign a (C major) note on my first car
(D minor) At (F major) 21 we had my first beer in a bar
Be (G major) st friend I'll ever have (C major)
Outro 1
Damn, I miss my old man.
(C major)
