Dean Brody - Footprints Of A Giant Chords

[Intro] (Palm Mute)
C   C   C   G   (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
             C                            F
Sometimes I run through the woods with my pellet gun
             C
pretend I’m fighting
         C                            F
With the boys on Juno beach with some pinecone grenades
             C
in my red flyer wagon
      C                       F
And I lie awake dreaming someday I might
         C
be just like the man
          C                    F
With the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve -
                 C
yeah i'd be just like you dad
 
 
[Chorus]
      F                  C
They tell me I look just like you
              F                     C
They say I've got your mischievous smile
             F                 C
They tell me someday I'll make sense of this,
                               G
each year I grow, each passing mile
          F             C
They say son you walk alone now,
         Am7              F
but they don't see what I see
             F               C
I've got the footprints of a giant
           G (strum once)
stretching out in front of me
 
C   C   C   G
 
 
[Verse 2]
              C                        F
There will be lonely days, days I shut out the world
          C
and just come undone
                C                 F
But I'll try my best to live life like you did,
            C
my days out in the sun
     F
I'll learn about you from your best friends,
             C
laugh at the crazy things you did
         C                          F
And I'll walk in your steps with my little feet
           C
until someday they fit, I hope someday they fit
 
 
[Chorus]
     F                   C
They tell me I look just like you
              F                   C
They say I've got your mischievous smile
              F                C
They tell me someday I'll make sense of this,
                                G
each year I grow, each passing mile
           F              C
And I hear that boy he is lost now,
         Am7               F
but they don't see what I see
             F               C
I've got the footprints of a giant
           G               C
stretching out in front of me
 
 
[Bridge]
        F
And the flag flies low, 21 guns smoke,
       C
and by thousands they say goodbye
        F                      Dm
And the guard salutes with the snap of their boots,
       Am7                    G
to the hero neath the red and white
 
 
[Verse 3]
              C                        F
There will be lonely days, days I shut out the world
         C
and just come undone
         C                        F
But I'll try my best to live life like you did,
            C
and fill my years with sun
     F
And someday when you're out walking
                         C
you'll hear a voice from behind you
       C                         F                 (stop)
Sayin wait up dad, you're goin a little too fast
 
and I'll run up to you...
 
...In the footprints of a giant.
