Intro
G C Em C
[Verse 1]
Em
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]
Em
From the cradle to the naval base
C
E 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"
Em 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 Em
It takes to keep the vow
C
To keep the vow
G C Em C
[Verse 3]
Em
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]
Em
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
Em 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 Em
It takes to keep the vow
C
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
G C Em C
[Middle 8]
Dm
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
E 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
Em C G D
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
Em
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
C
Mississippi is glistening green
G
Another summer's softly calling off
D D7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
C
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
Em 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 Em
It takes to keep the vow
C
I can only hope as I propose
G D
To man the outpost now
C D Em
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
C
To keep the vow
[Outro]
