Intro
A# D# Gm D#
[Verse 1]
Gm
My old man was young once
D#
Or so the photo album claims
A#
Flip the page the baby jumps
F
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
Gm
From the cradle to the naval base
D#
G newlywed recruit
A#
Through the boot camp of a family man
F
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
D#
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
Gm D#
All them anchors will weigh you down
A# F
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
D#
What did I know about it then?
A# F
What do I know now?
D#
I have known the kind of man
F Gm
It takes to keep the vow
D#
To keep the vow
A# D# Gm D#
[Verse 3]
Gm
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
D#
Saying ‘That's what you get for thinking'
A# F
I remember thinking that's probably not the best lesson for a kid
[Verse 4]
Gm
And although that was just something he said
D#
When I see what I get with my thinking
A#
I get to thinking he may have been some kinda genius
F
In the effortless way he just did
[Bridge]
D#
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
Gm D#
But silence fans the fires a man
A# F
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
D#
What did I know about it then?
A# F
What do I know now?
D#
I have known the kind of man
F Gm
It takes to keep the vow
D#
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
A# D# Gm D#
[Middle 8]
Fm
I could've curled up in one footprint,
D#
One giant laugh, one giant hand
A#
Until the sickness and the treatment
F
Shrunk him down to just a man
D#
G shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
A# F
When his wedding ring must've slipped into the muddy yard
D#
At least that's what he figured when he noticed it was gone
Gm D# A# F
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
Gm
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
D#
Mississippi is glistening green
A#
Another summer's softly calling off
F F7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
D#
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
Gm D#
On these nights when me and my old man
A# F
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
D#
What did I know about it then?
A# F
What do I know now?
D#
I have known the kind of man
F Gm
It takes to keep the vow
D#
I can only hope as I propose
A# F
To man the outpost now
D# F Gm
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
D#
To keep the vow
[Outro]
A# D# Gm D# x4
