Album: Live Like You Were Dying

Written by: Tom Douglas

**CAPO 3**

D

In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears

Em - D/F# - G

Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears

G D G-D

Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face

A G D

In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace

D

His old man woke him up to help him find the car

Em - D/F# - G

Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar

G D G-D

And swore that he was quittin, and then he'd start to cry

A G D

And though the boy knew the truth sometimes he'd still believe that lie

Chorus:

G

When the sins of the father are the sins of the son

D Bm

All you do is crawl when you wanna run

Em

And God gave boys their mamas cause

D/F#

They always see their promise

G D/F# Em

And they help them understand

A D Bm

How to walk like a man

Em G

Walk like a man

D

They moved a lot of places, they never settled down

Em - D/F# - G

It got pretty old being the new kid in town

G D G-D

He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today

A G D

Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say

Chorus 2:

G

The sins of the father are the sins of the son

D Bm

Crawl before you walk, boy, walk before you run

Em

Come on, stand up straight

D/F#

I'm proud of you

G D/F# Em

Take my hand, I know you can

A D Bm

Walk like a man

Em G

Walk like a man

A D G

Your daddy's demons are callin' your name

A D G

Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim

A D G

Temptations may come, that ain't no sin

Em D/F# G A

You get stronger every time that you don't give in

Chorus 3:

G

The sins of the father are the sins of the son

D Bm

You can't undo what has been done

Em D/F#

You'll have to retrace his footsteps

G D/F#

Through the sand

Bm E7

And pray you find the love of a girl

G D/F#

And take her by the hand

Em A

And walk on

Bm-A-G

Walk like a man
