VERSE:
C G Am C
Yeah, I still got that pocket knife, that red Swiss Army
F G C
The one that wore a hole in his blue jeans
C G Am C
I still got that old guitar, that ’60s model
F G
The one with buckle scratches and rusted strings

Ohh, but it just don’t sound as good to me

As him sayin’
CHORUS:
Am G
Don’t mix wine with whiskey
F C
Don’t put Jesus in a box

And never spend more money than you make
Am G F C
And don’t burn a bridge that maybe one day you’ll have to cross
F C G
And don’t let a ball game ruin your Saturday

C G Am G F
Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
G C C
The things he handed down
VERSE:

F G C
I swear, every verse, you’ve underlined
C G Am G
Yeah, I kept that bottle, the one that we both finished
F G
The night I said I think I met my wife
F G
You shook my hand, and we both smiled
And you said
CHORUS:
Am G
Love ain’t always roses
F C
Yeah, sometimes you get the thorns
F C G
But buy a dozen every chance you get
Am G
Oh, and tell your friends you love ’em
F C
‘Cause some day they could be gone
F C G
And try to live this life with no regrets
F C
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
Dm C
Those fishin’ boat one-liners
F C G
It’s his words that mean most to me now
C G Am7
Of the things he handed down

Those fishin’ boat one-liners
F C G
It’s his words that mean most to me now

Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
