(ver. 1)
Chris Guenther
[Intro]
 
G D A G D
 
[Verse 1]
 
D               A                  G                      Em
Grandpa used to tell me, 'bout the trials of the good 'ol days
C                     G                                        A
Breaking backs in the blistering sun or in the downpour of the rain
          C                        G                          D                 G
There was never one doubt in his integrity, He'd say a dollar saved is a dollar made
D                                         A          G          D
Sometimes life is sacrifice, seems you're walking up hills both ways
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                  A                 G            Em
must've been about seventeen, when I came to understand
C                G                               A
There aren't any shortcuts to becoming an honest man
        C             G                     D                   G
Now and then, I think about him and all the things he'd used to say
D                                                             A          G          D
Keep your head up high, when you walk don't fall, when you're walking up hills both ways
 
[Chorus]
 
A                                     A                    G
Tireless years of sweat and tears cut across his weathered hands
  A                                           G                A
A record of life's accomplishments were contributions to who I am
D                      A                             G            Em
Didn't make much since when I was young, but there's clarity with age
D                                                  A          G          D
Don't back down from life's challenges when you're walking up hills both ways
 
[Solo]
 
G D A G D
 
[Verse 3]
 
D                      A                       G                  Em
His word and handshake were always good, never settled for second best
C                  G                                  A
Made damn sure his work was done, rarely took time to rest
C           G                        D                  G
Even in his later years, he gave his all each and every day
             D                         A          G          D
You wouldn't see hime cutting corners, walking up hills both ways
 
[Chorus]
 
A                                     A                    G
Tireless years of sweat and tears cut across his weathered hands
  A                                           G                A
A record of life's accomplishments were contributions to who I am
D                      A                             G            Em
Didn't make much since when I was young, but there's clarity with age
D                                                  A          G          Em
Don't back down from life's challenges when you're walking up hills both ways
D                                                  A          G          D
Don't back down from life's challenges when you're walking up hills both ways
 
[Outro]
