Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) The first
time
that I saw them (G major)
He was wearing them
to church. (D major)
They weren't all
scruffed and scratchy (G major)
Like the ones he wore to work. (A major)
Verse 2
(D major) He was just a common man (G major)
He didn't even own a suit (D major)
But you could see the pride
Reflecting (A major) in the shine of
Papaw's sunday boot (D major) s. (A major)

So I wore two pairs of sock (A major) s.

(D major) And now I've made a spe (G major) cial list

And then my last request.

The day I'm laid to (D major) rest.

The nex (D major) t time that I see him
I'll be (A major) wearing Papaw's sunday (D major) boots.
