Austin Ray Hardy - Boy To A Man Chords

[Intro]
| G  D |  Em  | G  D |  Em  |
 
[Verse]
G                      D
   He taught me how to hold a hammer
Em                        C
   And how to drive a nail
G                   D
   And what in life truly matters
Em                     C
   Is being saved from hell
G                    D
   And bowing my head when life shatters
Em                 C
   Before anything else
 
[Chorus]
         G             D
My first steps on this land
Em                      C
   Yea he made me who I am
          G             D
And how I walk to how I stand
Em                         C
   It's the shadow of that man
              G                D
And with that Bible in his hand
Em                      C
   He helped me to understand
             G       D           Em  C
What it takes  for a boy to be a man
 
[Verse]
G                D
   He worked for what we needed
Em           C
   All those years
G                      D
   Cause a love from a dad to a son will
Em           C
   Bring you tears
G                  D
   And when I pass down what he taught me
Em                C
   To my own boys ears
 
[Chorus]
                 G             D
From their first steps on this land
Em                             C
   Yea I'll make them who they are
             G                D
And how they walk to how they stand
Em                         C
   It's the shadow of this man
              G               D
And with that Bible in my hand
Em                     C
   I'll help them understand
             G           D         Em   C
What it takes  for a boy   to be a man
             G           D         Em   C   G
What it takes  for a boy   to be a man
