Intro
C# F# A#m F#
[Verse 1]
A#m
My old man was young once
F#
Or so the photo album claims
C#
Flip the page the baby jumps
G#
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
A#m
From the cradle to the naval base
F#
A# newlywed recruit
C#
Through the boot camp of a family man
G#
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
F#
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
A#m F#
All them anchors will weigh you down
C# G#
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
F#
What did I know about it then?
C# G#
What do I know now?
F#
I have known the kind of man
G# A#m
It takes to keep the vow
F#
To keep the vow
C# F# A#m F#
[Verse 3]
A#m
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
F#
Saying ‘That's what you get for thinking'
C# G#
I remember thinking that's probably not the best lesson for a kid
[Verse 4]
A#m
And although that was just something he said
F#
When I see what I get with my thinking
C#
I get to thinking he may have been some kinda genius
G#
In the effortless way he just did
[Bridge]
F#
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
A#m F#
But silence fans the fires a man
C# G#
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
F#
What did I know about it then?
C# G#
What do I know now?
F#
I have known the kind of man
G# A#m
It takes to keep the vow
F#
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
C# F# A#m F#
[Middle 8]
G#m
I could've curled up in one footprint,
F#
One giant laugh, one giant hand
C#
Until the sickness and the treatment
G#
Shrunk him down to just a man
F#
A# shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
C# G#
When his wedding ring must've slipped into the muddy yard
F#
At least that's what he figured when he noticed it was gone
A#m F# C# G#
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
A#m
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
F#
Mississippi is glistening green
C#
Another summer's softly calling off
G# G#7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
F#
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
A#m F#
On these nights when me and my old man
C# G#
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
F#
What did I know about it then?
C# G#
What do I know now?
F#
I have known the kind of man
G# A#m
It takes to keep the vow
F#
I can only hope as I propose
C# G#
To man the outpost now
F# G# A#m
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
F#
To keep the vow
[Outro]
C# F# A#m F# x4
