Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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



Chorus:
D

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


Verse 2:
    A
Our home was filled with music every Sunday afternoon
                                                   E
We'd join our voice in harmony while dad played guitar
        A                          D            A
Singing songs that Vern Gosdin and Don Williams sang
                          E               A
With a smile on her face, mom would sing along


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


Verse 3:
    A
The tears  that flow when I hear “if I needed you”
                             E
“Amanda” and “You're my best friend”
  A                                                   D             A
I miss that man and his love for the gentle giant and sweet country music.
                                      E                      A
Yes, I wish I could once again sing a gentle giant song with him


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

Sweet country music still lingers on


Outro:
                    E             D  A
Sweet country music still lingers on
