Hey! I'm here again... I love these Lynyrd's new era songs, so here one more... (I hope it's right, but for me it sounds like this...) INTRO Am C/B C C/B F Em Am C/B C C/B F G F G Am C Am F G Am F G
Am       C/B    C             F
I knew a man a long long time

                         G
But I never knew him at all

Am       C/B    C             F
Small in stature, big at heart

                     G
Oh, he always stood tall

Am       C/B    C             F
From the time that he was born

                       G
He had a style all his own

Am       C/B    C             F
In my mind he could do no wrong

                    G
Misunderstood all along

F   G          Am
He worked hard all his life

C                    Am
To get what he has today

F        G      Am
We would all be better off, if we could

F                        G
Hear those words that he had to say

         F       G               Am
He was a little rough around the edges

    F               G
And through it all, we all knew he was

   F     G                Am
A little rough around the edges
F G Am C/B
C C/B F Em
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you
(Oh, for you, for you) Am C/B C C/B F G
Am       C/B           C
He took me by the hand

                F         G
And said son, what's your plan

Am       C/B    C                    F
I won't stop you or stand in your way

                      G
Someday you'll be a man

F           G          Am
I looked at him with hungry eyes

C                    Am
That only youth can know

F             G          Am
With all his wisdom and all his years

               F                        G
He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know

         F       G               Am
He was a little rough around the edges

    F               G
And through it all, we all knew he was

Dm              C
Don't stop now, keep moving

Don't worry about where you're going,   I'll hear you

C             Bb                    C          Am
You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go
