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