----Capo 1st fret)----

Intro - D - G - D - G

(verse 1)

D D/F# G A

I got a picture of him bare foot in the mud,

D D/F# G A

Behind his grandpa's plow and two gray mules,

D D/F# G A

When he turned ten years old in May fifty three,

D D/F# G A

He grew up fearin God in Washburn, Tennesee,

(bridge)

F#m Bm D A

The closest thing that he had to a dad was his uncle Bob,

F#m Bm G F#

And he could only dream of things like little league baseball,

G A F#m Bm

That little boy with big blue eyes and callused hands,

A D - G - D - G

mm became My Old Man,

(verse 2)

D D/F# G A

She was a Kentucky girl born on Valentine's day,

D D/F# G A

A fourth child of five to my grandma Uma May,

D D/F# G A

So shy and beautiful with sunset hair and emerald eyes,

D D/F# G A

Daddy spent his life workin in the coal mines,

(bridge)

F#m Bm D A

And in my eyes, all of my life, my dad's been a saint,

F#m Bm G F#

But even saints need angels to show them the way,

G A F#m Bm

And over thirty-seven years ago he asked for Margaret Lynn's hand,

G A D

And that angel married My Old Man,

(bridge)

There were times I tried to buck the truthful things they said,

F Am G

Now I'm glad that more than once they rattled my stubborn head,
