Verse 1:
A augmentedA
Early in the evening, after a long hard day of work
                 E MajorE
Tunes playing sweet country music by the gentle giant
    A augmentedA             D MajorD       A augmentedA
And my dad strumming along on his cheap Sears guitar.
               E MajorE     A augmentedA
That music in that man I now hold in my hand


Chorus:
D MajorD
Sweet country music
                 A augmentedA
Makes me realize what he found in me
 D MajorD                           E MajorE
I thank him for giving me a gift of music deep within my heart
   A augmentedA            D MajorD                 A augmentedA
I can see how the gentle giant deeply touched my dad's heart and soul
          E MajorE       A augmentedA
Sweet country music still lingers on

Verse 2:

Our home was filled with music every Sunday afternoon

We'd join our voice in harmony while dad played guitar
    A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA
Singing songs that Vern Gosdin and Don Williams sang
             E MajorE        A augmentedA
With a smile on her face, mom would sing along


Chorus:
D MajorD
Sweet country music
                 A augmentedA
Makes me realize what he found in me

I can see how the gentle giant deeply touched my dad's heart and soul
          E MajorE       A augmentedA
Sweet country music still lingers on

Verse 3:

The tears that flow when I hear “if I needed you”
               E MajorE
“Amanda” and “You're my best friend”
 A augmentedA                          D MajorD       A augmentedA
I miss that man and his love for the gentle giant and sweet country music.

Yes, I wish I could once again sing a gentle giant song with him

I can see how the gentle giant deeply touched my dad's heart and soul

Sweet country music still lingers on
