Intro:  D   G x2 

verse 1:  
         D 
         Heywood was a daddy in 1942, 
         D 
         He couldn't read or make his letters, 
                                                 G       Cadd9 
         He said "Boy, I hope you don't do like I do," 
                     G                     D 
         That was my dad he was talking to 
               D 
         So my father grew up stronger, bigger dreams and bigger plans 
             D 
         The first to go to college 
                                                 G      Cadd9    G 
         But he can still work hard with his two hands 
                           D 
         Thanks to his old man 

         
                 D 
         Yeah he learned to throw a baseball 
                G 
         How to sail a fishing line 
            D 
         He learned about forgiveness 
                    A 
         'Cause you just can't waste the time 
                 Bm 
         And the circle goes unbroken 
                     Cadd9 
         But there's so much left undone 
         G           D/F#   F 
         That's just how it is 
                               D 
         Between a father and a son 

verse 2:  
         D 
         I became a daddy at the age of 23 
                  D 
         I didn't know what I was doing 
                  D                            G        Cadd9   G 
         Hell, my daddy wasn't through yet raising me 
                        D 
         I felt lost at sea 
            D                              D 
         So I just kept it simple, took it one day at a time 
             D 
         And followed in the footsteps  
                                             G          Cadd9   G 
         Of the men that came before me in my life 
                              D 
         And we're doing just fine 

Chorus:
