Intro:
CC - DmDm - CC - DmDm

CC                          DmDm
There's a man at my house, he's so big and strong
CC                                DmDm
He goes to work each day, and he stays all day long
CC                        DmDm
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
CC                                    DmDm
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat

CC             DmDm
Never a frown always a smile
CC                  DmDm
When he says to me how's my child
CC                              DmDm
I said that I've been studying hard all day in school
CC                   DmDm
Tryin' very hard to understand the golden rule

CC                      FF
I think I'll color him father
CC                      GG
I think I'll color him love
CC                   FF
I'm gonna color him father
CC                      GG
I think I'll color him love

EmEm                     DmDm
He says education is a thing to complete
EmEm                       DmDm
Because without it, life just ain't very sweet
EmEm              DmDm
I love this man and I don't know why
EmEm                            DmDm
Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die

CC                      FF
I think I'll color him father
CC                   GG
I'm gonna color him love
CC                  FF
I got to color him father
CC                      GG
I think I'll color him love

CC                       DmDm
Our real old man he got killed in the war
CC                                 DmDm
And momma and seven kids couldn't gotten very far
CC                                   DmDm
She said she thought that she could never love again
CC                       DmDm
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
EmEm                    DmDm
He married my mother, he took us in
EmEm                           DmDm
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin

CC                  FF
I got to color him father
CC                   GG
I'm gonna color him love
CC                  FF
I got to color him father
CC                      GG
I think I'll color him love
