Chords

[Intro] E E [Verse 1]
             E
If you ain't hard then they won't listen

             G#m
If you ain't tough then they won't understand

             A
Cuz they're strong like white horses

B                  E
      crazy as the wind

         E
Cuz they don't know what's coming

         G#m
And they rarely choose the way that you had planned

       A
So you watch and learn from fallin

B         E
      And help 'em up if you can
[Chorus]
E
  Raisin' a rookie,

B
  Doin' the best we can

G#m
  Helpin them find their way

A
  Takes more than years to make a man

E
  Raisin' a rookie

B
  All I can do is light their road

G#m                           A
  I know its a heavy load sometimes

      F#m   G#m   A
  God knows I'm tryin'
[Verse 2]
     E
you see what makes them special

    G#m
you do everything and anything it takes

        A                             C#m
just to know that they would make it

            B                  A      B   C#m  D#m
through the trials and the heartaches
[Chorus]
E
  Raisin' a rookie,

B
  Doin' the best we can

G#m
  Helpin them find their way

A
  Takes more than years to make a man

E
  Raisin' a rookie

B
  All I can do is light their road

G#m                           A
  I know its a heavy load sometimes

      F#m   G#m   A
  God knows I'm tryin'
[Bridge]
|C#m  B  |A   E|
             oh I'm trying
|C#m B |E | |C#m B |A E| |C#m B |A | [Verse 3]
         E
And they teach you to be humble

          G#m
while the time and the worry line your face

        B                      E
and you learn how to hold your breath

E
How a desperate heart can pray
[Chorus]
E
  Raisin' a rookie,

  Raisin' a rookie

B
  All I can do is light their road

G#m                           A
  I know its a heavy load sometimes

      F#m   G#m   A
  God knows I'm tryin'
[Chorus]
E
  Raisin' a rookie,

B
  Doin' the best we can

G#m
  Helpin them find their way

A
  Takes more than years to make a man

E
  Raisin' a rookie

B
  All I can do is light their road

G#m                           A
  I know its a heavy load sometimes

      F#m   G#m   A (hold)
  God knows I'm tryin'
