INTRO: D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G

D                               G             D
My daddy was a charmer boys, he had a lot of style
                                         A7
He was the shinin' best at everything he did
     D                               G                D
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
               A7             D
I was proud as hell to be his kid


Seems like just as we were growin' close together he was gone
But it was long enough to show what I could be
And I sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song
This is what my daddy sings to me


CHORUS:
        D-D               D-D        G-G              D-D
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
            D-D           D-D            A7   
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
       D                                    G                   D
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy they'll shut your business down
                          G                  D   G
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
          D                  A7              D
'Cause the heart is all that matters in the end


(KEY CHANGE)


E  A  E  A  E  A  E  A

         E                              A                E
They say every song is sweeter when you sing it from the heart
                                               B7
I won't knock it 'cause I've tried it and it's true
      E                          A                E
I may never get to Heaven but I've seen a lot of stars
                          B7             E
And I'm here to bring the same advice to you


CHORUS:
        E-E                E-E       A-A              E-E
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
            E-E           E-E            B7
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
       E                                    A                  E
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy they'll shut your business down
                           A                E   A
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
           E                 B7              E
'Cause the heart is all that matters in the end


A         E                   A            E    A  
  Yes the heart is all that matters in the end
      E                 A               E
  The heart is all that matters in the end
