(Verse 1)
(G) I hate the sound (C) of my boots on this grav-(Em)el
I miss that (D)dash in between those years (G)
I ain't gonna lie, (C) every day's been a bat-(Em)tle
You'd think by now, (D) I'd run out of these tears (G)
So much has hap-(C)pened since the last time I saw (Em) you
So I came out (D)here since I can't call (G)you

(Chorus)
I met a girl, (C) Dad, I told her I loved (Em) her
We got (D)married out in Cali-(G)fornia
Sunset on her white (C) dress, God, it was (Em)beautiful
We saved a cold (D) one and a chair for (G) you
And I know you're looking down (C) from up there, I be-(Em)lieve it
I just (D)wish that I could see you see (G) this
Little black and white pic-(C)ture
Yeah, I wanted so (Em) bad to tell you in (D)person
We're having a girl, (G) Dad / / / (C) / / / (Em) / / / (D) / /

(Verse 2)
I bet (G)half of Heaven already knows 'cause (C)you're already braggin'
How you (Em)had to make your way up there (D) to make all this happen
(G) Yes, you'll be here in (C)August, right around your (Em)birthday
Kinda like you and (D)Mama, I knew on the (G)first date

(Chorus)
Yeah, I met a girl, (C) Dad, I told her I loved (Em) her
We got (D)married out in Cali-(G)fornia
Sunset on her white (C) dress, God, it was (Em)beautiful
We saved a cold (D) one and a chair for (G) you
And I (G)know you're looking down (C) from up there, I be-(Em)lieve it
I just (D)wish that I could see you see (G) this
Little black and white pic-(C)ture
Yeah, I wanted so (Em) bad to tell you in (D)person
We're having a girl, (G) Dad (C)
We're having a girl, (Em) Dad (D)

(Bridge)
Yeah, I (G/B)wanted you to be the one that (C)teaches her about fishin'
Not her (En)growin' up not knowing what she's (D)missin', but

(Outro.)
I know you're looking down (C) from up there, I be-(Em)lieve it
I just (D)wish that I could see you see (G) this
Little black and white (Bm)picture
Yeah, I (C)wanted so bad (D) to tell you in person
We're having a girl, Dad (G) (C) (Em) (D) (G) - - - - -
