Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
A | D | E | Bm | A
[Verse 1]
A D E A
The tears have all been shed now, we've said our last goodbye's,
F#m Bm B E
His soul's been blessed,he's laid to rest, and it's now I feel alone,
A D E A
He was more that just a father, a teacher my best friend,
F#m Bm
He can still be heard in the tunes we shared,
B E E7
as we played them on our own.
[Chorus]
D A D A
I never will forget him, for he made me what I am,
D A F#m Bm E A
Though he may be gone memories linger on, and I miss him, the old man
[Interlude]
A | D | E | Bm
[Verse 2]
A D E A
As a boy he'd take me walking, through mountain field and stream,
F#m Bm B E
And he'd show me things not known to kings, a secret between him and me,
A D E A
Like the colours of the pheasent, as she rises in the dawn,
F#m Bm B E E7
How to fish and make a wish, beside the holly tree.
[Chorus]
D A D A
I never will forget him, for he made me what I am,
D A F#m Bm E A
Though he may be gone memories linger on, and I miss him, the old man
[Interlude]
A | D | E | A | F#m | Bm | B | E
[Verse 3]
A D E A
I thought he'd live forever, coz he seemed so big and strong,
F#m Bm B E
But the minutes fly, the years roll by, for a father and his son,
A D E A
Then suddenly when it happened, there was so much left unsaid,
F#m Bm B E E7
No second chance to tell him thanks, for everything he's done.
[Chorus]
D A D A
I never will forget him, for he made me what I am,
D A F#m Bm E A
Though he may be gone memories linger on, and I miss him, My old man
[Outro]
A | D | E | Bm
