Intro.:  (C) x 4 bars

(C) His old hands were like leather
From working in the (Csus4)cold Carolina weather
Stringing sixty (F)hour weeks together
For my (C)mama, my brothers and me

(C)He was old fashion, he was old school
(Csus4) American, Red, White and Blue
(F) But to me he was just cool
The (C)man I wanted to be

(Pre-Chorus)
(Dm7) It ain't set in, (Em7)that he's really gone
(F) If I could call the number, still here in my phone

(Chorus)
I'd say (C)hey dad, it's me dad
Just (G)wanted to let ya know I miss us bad
He'd (F)make me laugh like he always did
'Fore he'd (G)say goodbye he'd leave me with this
Go on (C) boy, be strong boy
(G)Don't ya shed a tear for me boy
I (F)had a good life one hell of a run
(G) It's alright I love ya, son ---

Solo:  |(C) Hey Dad |(C) |(C) |(C)

I'd (C)tell him that his two grand babies
(Csus4) Are turning into little ladies
And (F)just like him, they're a little crazy
(C)Talk about him all the time

I'd (C)let him know me and my brothers
Are (Csus4)spending more time with one another
(F)Mama says some days are bet'r-n others
I (C)think she's gonna be fine

(Chorus)
(C)Hey dad, it's me dad
Just (G)wanted to let ya know I miss us bad
He'd (F)make me laugh like he always did
'Fore he'd (G)say goodbye he'd leave me with this
Go on (C) boy, be strong boy
(G)Don't ya shed a tear for me boy
I (F)had a good life one hell of a run
(G) It's alright I love ya, son

Solo:  |(C) |(G) |(F) |(G) |

Go on (C) boy, be strong boy
(G)Don't ya shed a tear for me boy
I (F)had a good life one hell of a run
(G) It's alright I love ya, son ---
