[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Sawdust and coffee rings
C
Were the things that built the man
G D D
And as I’d grow would provide the things I'd need
G
He never had much to say at all
C
Kept a pocket watch in his overalls
G D D G
But he made the sun set and his fingers bleed
[Verse 2]
He says he married young
C
Cause she was different, she was fun
G D D
Lord they say that she looked some like me
G
If she had it she’d give it all
C
But boys don’t you piss her off
G G
You’ll find out just what the fire means
[Chorus]
C
But the days were long and the weeds were tall
G
We’d snap peas ‘til the early Fall
A D
We lived like it was 1963
C
I didn’t have things like the other kids
G
But I thanked God for the things I did
D G
It’s this kind of blood that runs in me
[Instrumental]
G C G A D C G D G
[Verse 3]
C
It’s a shame a man today can turn his face and walk away
G D D
From a little girl with eyes just like his own
G
Couldn’t blame it on his raisin’
C
Naw his folks, they did the saving
G
And the man I lost
D G G
I suppose I’ll never know
[Chorus]
C
But the days were long and the weeds were tall
G
We’d snap peas ‘til the early Fall
A D
We lived like it was 1963
C
I didn’t have things like the other kids
G
But I thanked God for the things I did
D G
It’s this kind of blood that runs in me
D G
It’s this kind of blood that runs in me
[Verse 4]
D
In the sweet bye and bye
G G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
C
In the sweet bye and bye
G D G G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
D D
I’ve got peace just like a river
G G
I’ve got peace like a river in my soul
C
In the sweet bye and bye
G D G G
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there
[Reprise]
D
In the sweet bye and bye
G G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
C
In the sweet bye and bye
D G
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
[Outro]
