VERSE:
 C                      G                Am           C
Yeah, I still got that pocket knife, that  red Swiss Army
     F               G                C
The one that wore a hole in his blue jeans

C                 G              Am     C
I still got that old guitar, that `60s model
     F                                    G
The one with buckle scratches and rusted strings

         F                              G
Ohh, but it just don`t sound as good to me
N.C.
As him sayin`


CHORUS:
 Am                  G
Don`t mix wine with whiskey
           F          C
Don`t put Jesus in a box
     F                C              G
And never spend more money than you make

Am                G                 F                      C
And don`t burn a bridge that maybe one day you`ll have to cross
           F               C              G
And don`t let a ball game ruin your Saturday

             F                 C
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
       Dm7              C
Those fishin` boat one-liners
 F                   C               G
It`s his words that mean most to me now

                         C     G     Am    G   F
Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
     G                C    C
The things he handed down


VERSE:
      C                 G           Am7                C
Yeah, I still got that bible, that leather-bound King James one
   F            G                  C
I swear, every verse, you`ve underlined

 C                 G          Am                G
Yeah, I kept that bottle, the one that we both finished
     F                             G
The night I said I think I met my wife

     F                          G
You shook my hand, and we both smiled

And you said


CHORUS:
 Am                G
Love ain`t always roses
           F                 C
Yeah, sometimes you get the thorns
     F           C                G
But buy a dozen every chance you get

         Am                    G
Oh, and tell your friends you love `em
             F                 C
`Cause some day they could be gone
     F                C               G
And try to live this life with no regrets

             F                 C
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
       Dm               C
Those fishin` boat one-liners

 F                   C               G
It`s his words that mean most to me now
                         C  G Am7
Of the things he handed down


BREAK:
 G            F     G  C
Yeah ah ah ah ah ah ah
N.C.
I can hear him saying


CHORUS:
 Am7                 G
Don`t mix wine with whiskey
           F          C
Don`t put Jesus in a box
     F                C              G
And never spend more money than you make

Am                G                 F                      C
And don`t burn a bridge that maybe one day you`ll have to cross
 F                C                   G
And don`t worry `bout what you can`t change

       F                 C
Those talks from that recliner
       Dm               C
Those fishin` boat one-liners
 F                   C               G
It`s his words that mean most to me now

                         C     G     Am    G   F
Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
     G                C
The things he handed down
