[Verse 1]
F G
You sent me to the shed with a haul of tools
F A#
Well I remember how you said that I could take what I could use
F G
I got a hammer and a ratchet set
A#
F hundred tools I ain't used yet
Dm C A#
Well they're rusty, but they work as good as new
F G A# A#m C
Tools, tools
[Verse 2]
F A#
Well I remember you as quiet as a picture
F A#
Like that picture of the Navy sailor grinning for the girls
F G
You had visited the barber
A#
You were stationed at Pearl Harbor
Dm C A#
F year before the War became the world's
[Chorus]
C A Dm
And you say, "Boy, sometimes you've got to get up on that ship
C A#
Leave all you love behind."
C A
Well, Grampa, I've been everywhere
Dm F/D
But Fargo, North Dakota
A# C
It ain't war, but it's a fight
F Dm A# C
Tools, tools
[Verse 3]
F A#
Well, I never knew you ever drew one picture
F
But if you want proof that I've got you
A#
Here running through my veins
F G
I could show you call the sketchbooks
A#
That I filled when I was young
Dm C A#
And sixty years ago you did the same
[Chorus]
C A
And you say, "Boy, just let 'em laugh
Dm
When all they see is lines--
C A#
Paint yourself a picture of your life
C A
I believe that Swedish folks were
Dm
Born with better eyes."
A# C
Grampa, I have always loved the sky
F G
I think you're right
A# C
You gave me tools
[Bridge]
A# F
You sent that telegraph to tell her that you missed her
A# C Dm
When my daddy was a baby, oh you gave him to the Lord
C A Dm F A#
And the faith you handed down has somehow stuck around
A#
And love has called you home again
A#m C
To roam again no more
[Verse 4]
F G
You sent me to the shed with a haul of tools
F A#
Well I remember how you said that I could take what I could use
F G A#
Faith and Love and Hope are what I carried home
Dm C A#
They're rusty but they work as good as new
F G A# A#m C F
