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