He was a giant
F G
And I was just a kid
C
I was always trying
F G
To do everything he did
Am C F
I can still remember every lesson he taught me
Fm G
Growing up learning how to be like my old man
[Repeat Intro]
[Verse]
C
He was a lion
F G
We were our father's pride
C
But I was defiant
F G
When he made me walk the line
Am
He knew how to lift me up
C F
And when to let me fall
Fm G
Looking back, he always had a plan
C
My old man
[Chorus]
F
My old man
C
Feel the callus on his hands
G
And dusty overalls
F
My old man
C
Now I finally understand
G
I have a lot to learn
C
From my old man
[Verse]
C
Now I'm a giant
F G
Got a son of my own
C
He's always trying
F G
To go everywhere I go
Am C F
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Fm G
Hoping that he someday wants to be
C
Like his old man

F
My old man
C
I know one day we'll meet again

As he's looking down
F
My old man
C
I hope he's proud of who I am
G
I'm trying to fill the boot
C
of my old man
[Repeat Intro] - don't do final G measure, instead end with C strum
