Capo III Fret

My (D) dad was a (G) man with 2 (D) hard working (G) hands

He (D) always took (G) time out for (A) me (A7)

Well, I'd (D) come home from (G) school - load (D) up that ca(G)noe

He'd (D) say "What's the (G) bet gonna (A) be" (A7)

(Em) We'd float that boat down on (A) Whipporwill River

(Em) Catch us a big one or (A) two

He (Em) taught me about life and (A) it's simple pleasures

And (Em) whatever else that he (A) knew

Then (D) I met a (G) girl with a (D) hair full of (G) curls

(D) Pure and an (G) innocent (A) heart (A7)

I knew (D) she was the (G) one - and when (D) weekends would (G) come

Wild (D) horses couldn't (G) keep us a(A)part (A7)

(Em) We'd run those ponies down (A) Whipporwill River

(Em) I'd steal a sweet kiss or (A) two

She (Em) taught me about love and (A) it's simple pleasures

And (Em) whatever else that she (A) knew

Acoustic Solo

Well, I (D) married that (G) girl; and (D) we have a (G) son

He (D) looks like my (G) daddy used (A) to (A7)

(D) His mom and (G) I, (D) always find (G) time

To (D) do things that (G) he likes to (A) do (A7)

He (Em) loves to go fishing on (A) Whipporwill River

(Em) Ride in his grandad's ca(A)noe

We (Em) teach him about life, and (A) it's simple pleasures

And (Em) pass down a memory or (A) two

He (Em) loves to go fishing on (A) Whipporwill River

(Em) Ride in his grandad's ca(A)noe

We (Em) teach him about life, and (A) it's simple pleasures

And (Em) makinh a memory or (A) two
