Intro
A D F#m D
[Verse 1]
F#m
My old man was young once
D
Or so the photo album claims
A
Flip the page the baby jumps
E
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
F#m
From the cradle to the naval base
D
F# newlywed recruit
A
Through the boot camp of a family man
E
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
D
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
F#m D
All them anchors will weigh you down
A E
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
D
What did I know about it then?
A E
What do I know now?
D
I have known the kind of man
E F#m
It takes to keep the vow
D
To keep the vow
A D F#m D
[Verse 3]
F#m
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
D
Saying ‘That's what you get for thinking'
A E
I remember thinking that's probably not the best lesson for a kid
[Verse 4]
F#m
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
E
In the effortless way he just did
[Bridge]
D
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
F#m D
But silence fans the fires a man
A E
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
D
What did I know about it then?
A E
What do I know now?
D
I have known the kind of man
E F#m
It takes to keep the vow
D
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
A D F#m D
[Middle 8]
Em
I could've curled up in one footprint,
D
One giant laugh, one giant hand
A
Until the sickness and the treatment
E
Shrunk him down to just a man
D
F# shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
A E
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
F#m D A E
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
F#m
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
D
Mississippi is glistening green
A
Another summer's softly calling off
E E7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
D
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
F#m D
On these nights when me and my old man
A E
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
D
What did I know about it then?
A E
What do I know now?
D
I have known the kind of man
E F#m
It takes to keep the vow
D
I can only hope as I propose
A E
To man the outpost now
D E F#m
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
D
To keep the vow
[Outro]
