Capo on 1

Intro.:  D Em/D A/D D x2

   D                                    A/C#                  D/F#
He said, "Son, hold it still, keep that beam shinin' straight"


            Bm         A                 G
He'd have a 9/16ths in one hand, workin' on that Chevrolet


   D                               A/C#                D/F#
It seemed like every Saturday soon as the sun went down

        Bm            A               G
We'd be huddled under-neath that hood tinkering around


(Pre-Chorus)

       Em                             A
And of all of the great memories I've had


    Em                  G           A
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad


(Chorus)

D/F#  G                           A                 D
He'll never how much he taught me out in that garage


      G                                         A                    Bm
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars


          C          Bm                    A
'Cause to this day I still can't make them run right


G     Em       F#m          G    A           D
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight


Inst.: Em/D A/D D


   D                              A/C#               D/F#
He told me a lot of stories about grandpa and the war


      Bm               A                  G
While he was trying to show me what a car-buretor's for


D                                     A/C#                   D/F#
I learned a couple cuss words when he skinned his knuckles up


      Bm                      A            G
And I found out Momma was the only girl he ever really loved


(Pre-Chorus)

       Em                             A
And of all of the great memories I've had


    Em                  G           A
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad


(Chorus)

D/F#  G                           A                 D
He'll never how much he taught me out in that garage


      G                                         A                    Bm
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars


          C          Bm                    A
'Cause to this day I still can't make them run right


G     Em       F#m          G    A           D
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight



G A D G G A Bm


       C          Bm                    A
And to this day I still can't make them run right


         Bm C      Bm             A
But deep in-side I know that it's alright


G        Em       F#m         G G A A
'Cause I sure did learn a lot


                 D
Just holding the flashlight
