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