INTRO: E F# A B

VERSE:
            E
He was a giant
   A              B
And I was just a kid
               E
I was always trying
       A             B
To do everything he did
C#m                          E             A
I can still remember every lesson he taught me
Am                         B               E
Growing up learning how to be like my old man

INSTRUMENTAL: E F# A B

VERSE:
           E
He was a lion
   A                     B
We were our father's pride
             E
But I was defiant
        A                   B
When he made me walk the line
C#m
He knew how to lift me up
     E          A
And when to let me fall
Am                              B
Looking back, he always had a plan
        E
My old man

CHORUS:
       A
My old man
                           E 
Feel the callous on his hands
              B
And dusty overalls
         A
My old man
       Am               E
Now I finally understand
          B
I have a lot to learn
            E
From my old man

INSTRUMENTAL: E F# A B 

VERSE:
            E
Now I'm a giant
       A        B
Got a son of my own
              E
He's always trying
        A          B
To go everywhere I go
C#m                             E          A
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Am                              B
Hoping that he someday wants to be
              E
Like his old man

INSTRUMENTAL: E C#m B A C#m B A C#m B A C#m B A

CHORUS:
       A
My old man
                            E
I know one day we'll meet again
           B
As he's looking down
         A
My old man
A            Am             E
I hope he's proud of who I am
E               B                        E F#
I'm trying to fill the boots of my old man
       A   E
My old man
