[Verse 1]
D
Them Wrangler jeans, Copenhagen ring
C G
Daddy packed one every morning
D
He paid the bills, working in the field
C G
Tired as hell, but he didn’t show it
D
Always putting food on the table
C G
Making sure we were able to live a damn good life
D
Back when I was kid, I admired what he did
C G
But as I get older I find
[Chorus]
D
He never missed that Sunday service
C
Never earned a thing without hard working
G
Never made my momma cry
C G
Never scared to say what was on his mind
D
Never let us do without
C
Wouldn’t let his age start to wear him down
G
Never listened to nobody tellin’ him no
C
But brother I’m tellin’ you
G D C
He taught me a lot with all he did
G D C G
But I learned everything from all he didn’t do
[Verse 2]
D
He spent the time teaching me to drive
C G
That ‘ole five speed Chevrolet
D
Daylight to dark out in the yard
C G
Working on my baseball swing
D
Watching him, I’m betting that he thought
C G
Those lessons were all I’d need to get by
C G
But when I look back in my mind
[Chorus]
D
He never missed that Sunday service
C
Never earned a thing without hard working
G
Never made my momma cry
C G
Never scared to say what was on his mind
D
Never let us do without
C
Wouldn’t let his age start to wear him down
G
Never listened to nobody tellin’ him no
C
But brother I’m tellin’ you
G D
He taught me a lot with all he did
C G D
But I learned everything from all he didn’t do
[Guitar Solo]
D C D G C G
[Bridge]
D
Never one for dressing up
C G
But I know he will someday
D
We’ll gather round that dirt and stone
C G
And hear that preacher say
[Chorus]
D
He never missed that Sunday service
C
Never earned a thing without hard working
G
Never made my momma cry
C G
Never scared to say what was on his mind
D
Never let us do without
C
Wouldn’t let his age start to wear him down
G
Never listened to nobody tellin’ him no
C
But brother I’m tellin’ you
G D C
He taught me a lot with all he did
G D
But I learned everything from all he didn’t do
[Outro]
D C
G D C G D
From all he didn’t do
