Elvie Shane - My Boy (Ver 2)

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
D C Add9 Em7
He ain’t got my smile, that don’t bother me a bit
G D Cad9 G
He’s got somebody else’s eyes I’m seeing myself in
D Cadd9 Em7
I’m holding on to every moment, God knows I’ve missed a few
G D Cadd9 G
The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do

[Chorus]
Em7 D G
He ain’t my blood, ain’t got my name
Cadd9 Em7
But if he did, I’d feel the same
D G
I wasn’t there for his first steps
Cadd9 Em7
But I ain’t missed a ball game yet
D G
And that ain’t ever gonna change
Cadd9
I could never walk away
Em7 D G
Yeah, he’s my son and that’s my choice
Cadd9 Em7 D
He ain’t my blood but he’s my, he’s my boy

G C G

[Verse 2]
D Cadd9 Em7
It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
G D Cadd9 G
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands
D Cadd9 Em7
His mama said, “I understand if it’s too soon for this”
G D Cadd9 G
I didn’t let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah

[Chorus]
Em7 D G
He ain’t my blood, ain’t got my name
Cadd9 Em7
But if he did, I’d feel the same
D G
I wasn’t there for his first steps
Cadd9 Em7
But I ain’t missed a ball game yet
D G
And that ain’t ever gonna change
Cadd9
I could never walk away
Em7 D G
Yeah, he’s my son and that’s my choice
Cadd9 Em7 D
He ain’t my blood but he’s my, he’s my boy

G Cadd9 G

[Bridge]
Cadd9 D
He’s Saturday morning cartoons
D
He’s “Hey, can I sleep in your room?”
G
He’s bigger than the plans I had
Cadd9
He’s making me a better man

[Chorus]

Em7 D G
He ain’t my blood, ain’t got my name
Cadd9 Em7
But if he did, I’d feel the same
D G
I wasn’t there for his first steps
Cadd9 Em7
But I ain’t missed a ball game yet
D G
And that ain’t ever gonna change
Cadd9
I could never walk away
Em7 D G
Yeah, he’s my son and that’s my choice
Cadd9 Em7 D
He ain’t my blood but he’s my, he’s my boy

G Cadd9
