Intro
F A# Dm A#
[Verse 1]
Dm
My old man was young once
A#
Or so the photo album claims
F
Flip the page the baby jumps
C
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
Dm
From the cradle to the naval base
A#
D newlywed recruit
F
Through the boot camp of a family man
C
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
A#
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
Dm A#
All them anchors will weigh you down
F C
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
A#
What did I know about it then?
F C
What do I know now?
A#
I have known the kind of man
C Dm
It takes to keep the vow
A#
To keep the vow
F A# Dm A#
[Verse 3]
Dm
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
A#
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]
Dm
And although that was just something he said
A#
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]
A#
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
Dm A#
But silence fans the fires a man
F C
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
A#
What did I know about it then?
F C
What do I know now?
A#
I have known the kind of man
C Dm
It takes to keep the vow
A#
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
F A# Dm A#
[Middle 8]
Cm
I could've curled up in one footprint,
A#
One giant laugh, one giant hand
F
Until the sickness and the treatment
C
Shrunk him down to just a man
A#
D shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
F C
When his wedding ring must've slipped into the muddy yard
A#
At least that's what he figured when he noticed it was gone
Dm A# F C
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
Dm
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
A#
Mississippi is glistening green
F
Another summer's softly calling off
C C7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
A#
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
Dm A#
On these nights when me and my old man
F C
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
A#
What did I know about it then?
F C
What do I know now?
A#
I have known the kind of man
C Dm
It takes to keep the vow
A#
I can only hope as I propose
F C
To man the outpost now
A# C Dm
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
A#
To keep the vow
[Outro]
F A# Dm A# x4
