He was a giant
    A            B
And I was just a kid
             E
I was always trying
      A            B
To do everything he did
C#m                        E         A
I can still remember every lesson he taught me
 Am                           B  E
Growing up learning how to be     like my old man

He was a lion
     A              B
We were our father's pride
             E
But I was defiant
        A                 B
When he made me walk the line
C#m
He knew how to lift me up
     E            A
And when to let me fall
  Am                         B
Looking back, he always had a plan
      E
My old man

My old man
                        E
Feel the callus on his hands
           B
And dusty overalls
       A
My old man
                     E
Now I finally understand
         B
I have a lot to learn
             E
From my old man

Now I'm a giant
     A          B
Got a son of my own
            E
He's always trying
      A          B
To go everywhere I go
C#m                            E       A
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Am                            B
Hoping that he someday wants to be
             E
Like his old man

My old man
                             E
I know one day we'll meet again
        B
As he's looking down
      A
My old man
                           E
I hope he's proud of who I am
              B
I'm trying to fill the boot
          E
of my old man
