[Verse]
G
I remember my daddy driving down the road
We were going to our old fishing hole
D
Two man boat in the back of that truck

   C
At 5 am I was still waking up

     G
We rowed on the lake and baited our hooks
Watching those lines until they shook
         D
In the cold morning air I began to see

      C                       D        G
This man I called Dad, was a hero to me
[Chorus]
       D                                G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes

                 D             G
I don’t know if mine ever realized

          Em                  D
That it wasn’t the money or material things

      Cadd9
That made him the man that I want to be

             D                G
It was the time he spent with me
[Verse]
G
When I was 18 I joined the corps
Served my country on distant shores
     D
I’d call back home from time to time

    C
To say hello and I’m doing alright

      G
We’d talk about home and family
How ed have to go fishing when I got leave
          D
He’d say take good care and call back soon

    C                     D      G
I love you son, and I’m proud of you
[Chorus]
       D                              G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes

                 D            G
I don’t know if mine ever realized

          Em                   D
That it wasn’t the money or material things

      Cadd9
That made him the man that I wanna be

             D                            G
It was the times he said, he was proud of me
[Refrain]
D
In This Life You Only Get One Shot

    Cadd9
To Make The Most With the Grace Of God

   D
I Live My Life With Just One Wish

That Taught His Son To Fish
[Chorus]
       D                              G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes

                 D            G
I don’t know if mine ever realized

          Em                   D
That it wasn’t the money or material things

      Cadd9
That made him the man that I wanna be

             D                            G
It was the times he said, he was proud of me
