Intro
D G Bm G
[Verse 1]
Bm
My old man was young once
G
Or so the photo album claims
D
Flip the page the baby jumps
A
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
Bm
From the cradle to the naval base
G
B newlywed recruit
D
Through the boot camp of a family man
A
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
G
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
Bm G
All them anchors will weigh you down
D A
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
G
What did I know about it then?
D A
What do I know now?
G
I have known the kind of man
A Bm
It takes to keep the vow
G
To keep the vow
D G Bm G
[Verse 3]
Bm
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
G
Saying ‘That's what you get for thinking'
D A
I remember thinking that's probably not the best lesson for a kid
[Verse 4]
Bm
And although that was just something he said
G
When I see what I get with my thinking
D
I get to thinking he may have been some kinda genius
A
In the effortless way he just did
[Bridge]
G
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
Bm G
But silence fans the fires a man
D A
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
G
What did I know about it then?
D A
What do I know now?
G
I have known the kind of man
A Bm
It takes to keep the vow
G
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
D G Bm G
[Middle 8]
Am
I could've curled up in one footprint,
G
One giant laugh, one giant hand
D
Until the sickness and the treatment
A
Shrunk him down to just a man
G
B shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
D A
When his wedding ring must've slipped into the muddy yard
G
At least that's what he figured when he noticed it was gone
Bm G D A
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
Bm
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
G
Mississippi is glistening green
D
Another summer's softly calling off
A A7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
G
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
Bm G
On these nights when me and my old man
D A
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
G
What did I know about it then?
D A
What do I know now?
G
I have known the kind of man
A Bm
It takes to keep the vow
G
I can only hope as I propose
D A
To man the outpost now
G A Bm
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
G
To keep the vow
[Outro]
