Verse :
G                    F
He taught me how to drive a Massey
 G                        F
How to work a clutch and keep it straight
 Gm                  C       G
Wore the gold off a wedding band
      F                 C
Only loved one woman to her last day

 G               F
Saturdays we're checking trout lines
 G                  F
And catfish sermons in a Jon boat
 Gm                C
Talking girls and talking life
     F                   C
And laughing at all his clean bad jokes


Pre-Chorus:
Cm                  G
He was Superman in overalls
F
At least that's what I thought


Chorus:
         G                  F
Now he's up there with the angels
         G                   F
And the good lord by his side
         Gm                    C
And I'm down here trying like hell not to cry
       F                         C
Still wishing for a little more time

        G             F
He was gentle he was strong
             G                  F
And when he passed he passed it on

                Cm
More than that money in his pocket
      G                               F
That truck that he bought us back in 1989

                Cm
More than that field fulla cotton
      G                     F
He's gone not forgotten we mighta said goodbye

       F
But a small town man's legacy never dies

G  F

Verse :
    G                         F
He had his own garden and he grew tomatoes
G                               F
So he could share 'em with the folks in town
 Gm                          C
He'd give the shirt off his back to a stranger
 F                          C
Everything he owned by the sweat of his brow


Pre-Chorus:
 Cm          G
Ohhh
I can see him now
 F
Yeah
I bet he's looking down


Chorus:
G                  F
Up there with the angels
         G                   F
And the good lord by his side
         Gm                    C
And I'm down here trying like hell not to cry
       F                         C
Still wishing for a little more time

        G             F
He was gentle he was strong
             G                  F
And when he passed he passed it on

                Cm
More than that money in his pocket
      G                               F
That truck that he bought us back in 1989

                    Cm
And more than that field fulla cotton
      Gm                    F
He's gone not forgotten we mighta said goodbye

       F                             G  F   G  F
But a small town man's legacy never diiiies
          G  F  G  F
It never dies


Break:
       Gm               C
Can't wait to teach my son
      F
Everything that he taught me
         Gm           C
I can't wait to carry on
F
The legacy


Chorus:
         G                  F
Now he's up there with the angels
     G                 F
And grandma by his side
         Gm                    C
And I'm down here trying like hell not to cry
       F                         C
Still wishing for a little more time

        G             F
He was gentle he was strong
             G                  F
And when he passed he passed it on

                Cm
More than that money in his pocket
      G                               F

                Cm
More than that field fulla cotton
      G                     F
He's gone not forgotten we mighta said goodbye

But a small town man's legacy never dies
