Randy Travis – He Walked On Water (Guitar)

           D                  G/D
He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,

         D                              A/E
and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.

          D                  G/D
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,

D              A            D      G  A
I thought that he walked on water.

   D                    G
He said he was a cowboy when he was young.

          D                        A
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.

    D                         G
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--

    D              A            D
and I thought that he walked on water.

                    G                   D
If the story's told,  only heaven knows.

                      A                D
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.

D7                       G                  D
  And although his wings,  they were never seen.

               A            D      G/A  A/C#
I thought that he walked on water.

     D                     G
Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,

           D                    A
and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."

    D                                   G
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed  alot.

     D          A     D
Then I'd flop down beside him.

           Bm                  A
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three

    G               A
and I loved him and he loved me.

     G                   A
And lord, I cried the day  he died,

                    G                   D
If the story's told,  only heaven knows.

                      A                D
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.

D7                       G                 D
  And although his wings,  they were never seen.

               A            D      G/A  A/C#
I thought that he walked on water.
