Capo 1

Intro- D-G x4

D D/F# G

One day little Billy said momma, wheres my dad?

D D/F# G

Fightin back the tears she said I knew one day youd ask

D D/F# G G/F#

She walked him down the hallway, to a closet with a safe

Em Asus A D-G-D-G

Said I think youll find the answer right here, in these 18 video tapes

D D/F# G

See the doctors told him hed be gone before you were born

D D/F# G

And it broke his heart to know hed never hold you in his arms

D D/F# G G/F#

Determined not to let you grow up learnin from mistakes

Em Asus A D

He put everything he thought youd need to know, on 18 video tapes

(Chorus)

G

Like heres the way you hold a bat,

Be sure to keep that shoulder back

D

And when you cast that rod and reel,

Well use your wrist its in the feel,

G

Or when you learn to ride your bike

D

Ill tell you now that you wont like those training wheels

Asus A

But your momma will

D D/F# G

From that day his momma showed him one of them a year

D D/F# G

Sometimes it was almost like his dad was really there

D D/F#

Sometimes He laughed, sometimes he cried

G G/F#

But he always walked away

Em Asus A

Havin learned another lesson from his dad, in those 18 video tapes

(CHORUS)

G

Like when you shave dont get too close

Lose the hair but leave the nose

D

And when your momma gives you my old truck

Dont drive too fast or ride the clutch

G

Dont listen to your buddies son

D

when the conversation comes to the birds and bees

Asus A

Just go to tape 18
