He Didn't Have To Be - Paisley Brad
Capo 2nd Fret
My first tab. Posted because I couldnt find a 'correct' version.
Sounds right to me playing it finger style. You can play C's or Cadd9 all the way, I like
the way the Cadd9 sounds where I have it.

I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old

G Fadd9 F
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then
(1st Chorus)
Dm G
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
F F
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Dm G Am F
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Dm G F
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
(Chords stay the same for next verse)

I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
G Fadd9 F
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
G Fadd9 F
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
(2nd Chorus) - (Chords Stay same - Words Change)

And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
