Intro:
C majorC - DmDm - C majorC - DmDm

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

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

C majorC                      FF
I think I'll color him father
C majorC                      G MajorG
I think I'll color him love
C majorC                   FF
I'm gonna color him father
C majorC                      G MajorG
I think I'll color him love

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

C majorC                      FF
I think I'll color him father
C majorC                   G MajorG
I'm gonna color him love
C majorC                  FF
I got to color him father
C majorC                      G MajorG
I think I'll color him love

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

C majorC                  FF
I got to color him father
C majorC                   G MajorG
I'm gonna color him love
C majorC                  FF
I got to color him father
C majorC                      G MajorG
I think I'll color him love
