Walk Like A Man chords by Tim Mcgraw

Chords with lyrics

there really is not intro to this song, he just starts on the down stroke of the D MajorD

D MajorD
In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
                     E minorEm - D/F#D/F# -  G+G
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
G+G                             D MajorD        G-D
Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face
    A augmentedA                       G+G               D MajorD
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace

D MajorD
His old man woke him up to help him find the car
                   E minorEm - D/F#D/F# -  G+G
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
G+G                                  D MajorD G-D
And swore that he was quittin, and then he'd start to cry
        A augmentedA                       G+G         D MajorD
And though the boy knew the truth sometimes he'd still believe that lie

Chorus:
     G+G
When the sins of the father are the sins of the son
   D MajorD            B minorBm
All you do is crawl when you wanna run
  E minorEm
And God gave boys their mamas cause
   D/F#D/F#
They always see their promise
     G+G       D/F#D/F#  E minorEm     A augmentedA
And they help them understand
              D MajorD  B minorBm
How to walk like a man
   E minorEm      G+G
Walk like a man


   D MajorD
They moved a lot of places, they never settled down
               E minorEm - D/F#D/F# -  G+G
It got pretty old being the new kid in town
G+G                                  D MajorD G-D
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
       A augmentedA                      G+G           D MajorD
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say


Chorus 2:
   G+G
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
D MajorD                     B minorBm
Crawl before you walk, boy, walk before you run
E minorEm
Come on, stand up straight
  D/F#D/F#
I'm proud of you
     G+G        D/F#D/F#     E minorEm    A augmentedA
Take my hand, I know you can
    D MajorD  B minorBm
Walk like a man
      E minorEm  G+G
Walk like a man

A augmentedA                    D MajorD         G+G
Your daddy's demons are callin' your name
A augmentedA                           D MajorD        G+G
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
A augmentedA                     D MajorD    G+G
Temptations may come, that ain't no sin
     E minorEm                     D/F#D/F#    G+G  A augmentedA
You get stronger every time that you don't give in


Chorus 3:
   G+G
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
D MajorD                  B minorBm
You can't undo what has been done
E minorEm             D/F#D/F#
You'll have to retrace his footsteps
       G+G  D/F#D/F#
Through the sand
       B minorBm         E7E7
And pray you find the love of a girl
   G+G           D/F#D/F#
And take her by the hand
   E minorEm   A augmentedA
And walk on
      Bm-A-G
