Drop D Tuning
G D A D
I was watchin' cartoons on a Saturday morning
G A D
And I heard daddy start the truck
G D
I came runnin' from the house and waved him down
A D
Cause he was makin' a run to the dump
G D
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones
G D
Take a little walk around
G Bm
I'll never forget what my daddy said
A D
The day we pulled that bike from the ground
G D
He said one man's trash is another man's gold
G D
If it's thrown away it's free to take
Bm A
A little oil she'll be good to go
G
So I rode that bicycle home
A
Thumbs up, daddy honkin'? on the horn
G D A D
I got my first job workin' on a dairy farm
G (A) D
Drivin' tractor and bailin' hay
G D
I'd have to circle around a bog in the ground
A D
Where sat an old Mustang ?58
G D
One evenin' I asked that farmer
G D
Why that car was just wastin' away
G Bm
He said you can have it for free it don't mean nothin' to me
A D
And I couldn't help but think
G D
One man's trash is another man's gold
G D
What someone will throw away is a crying shame
Bm A
So I towed that Mustang home
G
Till she could be restored
A
I got that engine to roar
And boy did that engine roar
(Instrumental Break)
G D A D
It was an awkward blind date we met at a park
G A D
She had her little girl taggin along
G D
Her beautiful smile hadn't been out in a while
A D
She was a hard working single mom
G D
In time I learned he'd left her
G D
He said I'm just way too young
G Bm
To be having a kid, I'm not ready for this
A D
If you keep it I'm good as gone?
G D
He never looked back as she watched him go
G D
She stood there crying in the rain till one January day
A
She had a beautiful baby girl
D G
Tonight I tuck her in and read her stories
Bm A G
And hold her mama while the sunset glows
D A D
My two arms full of this man's gold
G D
What some men will throw away is a crying shame
Bm A G
Those girls make our house a home
A
Yeah my cup overflows
G
With this man's gold
D
This man's gold
