Chords with lyrics

G+G          C majorC
The tears have all been shed now
   D MajorD         G+G
We've said our last good-byes
  A minorAm
His soul's been blessed
   A augmentedA
He's laid to rest
           G+G
And it's now I feel alone
             C majorC
He was more than just a father
  D MajorD        G+G
A augmentedA teacher, my best friend
    A minorAm
He can still be heard
    A augmentedA
In the tunes we shared
     D MajorD
When we play them on our own.

Chorus

  C majorC        G+G
I never will forget him
    C majorC       G+G
For he made me what I am
     E minorEm
Though he may be gone
     D MajorD   E minorEm
Memories linger on
   C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
And I miss him?...the old man

   G+G         C majorC
As a boy, he'd take me walking
  D MajorD         G+G
By mountain field and stream
    A minorAm
And he showed me things
   A augmentedA
Not known to kings
              G+G
And secret between him and me
     C majorC
Like the colours of the pheasant
          D MajorD
As he rises in the dawn
  A minorAm       A augmentedA
And how to fish and make a wish
         D MajorD
Beside the holly tree

Chorus

  C majorC        G+G
I never will forget him
    C majorC       G+G
For he made me what I am
     E minorEm
Though he may be gone
     D MajorD   E minorEm
Memories linger on
   C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
And I miss him?...the old man

  G+G          C majorC
I thought he'd live forever
  D MajorD         G+G
He seemed so big and strong
    A minorAm
But the minutes fly
    A augmentedA
And the years roll by
          G+G
For a father and a son
   G+G         C majorC
And suddenly, when it happened
     D MajorD       G+G
There was so much left unsaid
  A minorAm
No second chance
  A augmentedA
To tell him thanks
           D MajorD
For everything he's done.

Chorus
  C majorC        G+G
I never will forget him
    C majorC       G+G
For he made me what I am
     E minorEm
Though he may be gone
     D MajorD   E minorEm
Memories linger on
   C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
And I miss him?...the old man
