Billy Dean - Real Man guitar chord

D

I came home from college to see my old man

D

He was sitting on the porch swing a book in his hand

D

He stared at my earring and at my tattoo

D Em

Smiled, shook his head, said It's good to see you.

D A

He chose his words carefully For it was hard for me to come

Em D

And he knew I had a temper and where I got it from

D A

I waited for the sermon. The one I knew so well

Em D

But this time he wasn't preaching about heaven or hell He said

CHORUS:

G D A D

A real man knows the value of a woman

G D A Em

A real man's got nothing to prove (man's - contraction for man has)

G D A G

He's strengthen by love and the Lord up a-bove

D A G D

To do the best you can To be a real man

D A

Could it be that I saw just a glimpse of his soul

G A

Or maybe losing momma had just taken it's toll

D A

He gave me his bible, stained with tears he had cried

G D

I open up the cover where he wrote inside And it said,

Go to chorus, to ending

ENDING:

D A G D

To do the best you can to be a real man
