IntroDGDAVerse 1D
I remember you in the rocking chair
G
I was in my boots and my underwear
DA
Playing rodeo all night long
D
You used to count till it hit 8 seconds
G
When you hit 6 is the time you left us
DA
But you're in my heart so I'll never be alone
EmF#mG
I know you're watching over me
ChorusDA
I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be
Em
Quick to love and slow to anger
G
No, you never met a stranger
DA
I hope one day when you're looking down on me
Em
I make you smile, I make you proud
G
I may not be there now
EmF#mGA
But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there in my granddaddy's chair
DGVerse 2D
You were 8 track, tapes and Conway Twitty
G
Road trip with Nana to Panama City
DA
Everybody knew she was your girl
D
You taught me love, You taught me living
G
Cars and jokes and good catfishing
DA
I gave you hell and you gave me the world
EmF#mG
I'm sure missing you right now
ChorusDA
I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be
Em
Quick to love and slow to anger

No, you never met a stranger
