G  Dsus4                       G
  Love you, love you, love you
   Dsus4             G
He did, he did, he did
   Dsus4              G
He stood high above you
       Dsus4
You were just a little kid

                 Bm
Your daddy was a farmer
    A                  Asus4
His back was burnished red and gold
          Bm                        A             Asus4
And every time he closed his eyes a rooster crowed
           Bm        
He sowed a hundred rows of corn
    A        Asus4
The summer you were born
   Bm                                  A  Asus4
And wondered what your life would yield
       Bm      A  Asus4             Bm    A  Asus4
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his, 
       Bm      A  Asus4
how it fe-e-e-e-els

                 Bm
Your daddy was a builder
   A               Asus4
He swung his hammer brown and silver
 Bm                           A               Asus4
Every time he closed his eyes a nail was drove
             Bm
And you were always underfoot
 A               Asus4
Like a splinter in the wood
            Bm                      A  Asus4
He couldn't pull you from his heels
       Bm      A  Asus4         G
How it fe-e-e-e-els, how it feels

 Dsus4                      G
Love you, love you, love you
  Dus4               G
He did, he did, he did
 Dsus4          G
He stood high above you
Dsus4          G
 Sky around his head
Dsus4          G
 Sawdust in his hair
 Dsus4          G
A scarecrow of a man
Dsus4            G         Dsus4    Bm
  He couldn't dra-a-w you near to him

      A         Asus4
Aaaaaaah-aah-aah-aah

                Bm
But you grew up straight and you grew up true
   A             Asus4
He kept a blue-gray eye on you
  Bm                                 A               Asus4
Until the day he closed his eyes and left them closed
            Bm
Your daddy didn't leave a will
          A                  Asus4
He left a shovel and a hole to fill
    Bm           A         Asus4
And how it feels, how it feels
      Bm       A    Asus4            Bm  A  Asus4 
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his
      Bm       A    Asus4             G    Dsus4
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be alive like this

   Bm
But who gave you an axe to grind?
A              Asus4
Who gave you a path to find?
  Bm
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
  A         Asus4
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 Bm
Who gave you a row to hoe?
A            Asus4
Who gave you your sorrow?
 Bm
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 A          Asus4 
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 Bm
Who gave you the break of dawn?
 A                 Asus4
A pleasure just to look upon
 Bm
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 A          Asus4
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 Bm
Who gave you a barn to build?
 A           Asus4 (hold)       Bm
And an empty pa-a-a-a-a-ge, to fill?
