Intro
E A C#m A
[Verse 1]
C#m
My old man was young once
A
Or so the photo album claims
E
Flip the page the baby jumps
B
Some twenty years and change
[Verse 2]
C#m
From the cradle to the naval base
A
C# newlywed recruit
E
Through the boot camp of a family man
B
In a loose civilian suit
[Bridge]
A
But it was anchors aweigh now
Singing "Courage, service true"
C#m A
All them anchors will weigh you down
E B
If you ain't fit for blue
[Chorus]
A
What did I know about it then?
E B
What do I know now?
A
I have known the kind of man
B C#m
It takes to keep the vow
A
To keep the vow
E A C#m A
[Verse 3]
C#m
I'd say "Well I just thought…"
And he'd cut me off
A
Saying ‘That's what you get for thinking'
E B
I remember thinking that's probably not the best lesson for a kid
[Verse 4]
C#m
And although that was just something he said
A
When I see what I get with my thinking
E
I get to thinking he may have been some kinda genius
B
In the effortless way he just did
[Bridge]
A
I learned your word is one thing,
You keep it if you give it out
C#m A
But silence fans the fires a man
E B
Requires to keep the vow
[Chorus]
A
What did I know about it then?
E B
What do I know now?
A
I have known the kind of man
B C#m
It takes to keep the vow
A
To keep the vow
[Instrumental]
E A C#m A
[Middle 8]
Bm
I could've curled up in one footprint,
A
One giant laugh, one giant hand
E
Until the sickness and the treatment
B
Shrunk him down to just a man
A
C# shrinking man still tinkering with my old busted car
E B
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
C#m A E B
I can still see him on his knees digging up that lawn
[Verse 5]
C#m
Now the flag is folded and the numbers are carved,
A
Mississippi is glistening green
E
Another summer's softly calling off
B B7
The search for missing things
[Bridge]
A
But I have found that something kept
To keep me company
C#m A
On these nights when me and my old man
E B
Go digging into dreams
[Chorus]
A
What did I know about it then?
E B
What do I know now?
A
I have known the kind of man
B C#m
It takes to keep the vow
A
I can only hope as I propose
E B
To man the outpost now
A B C#m
I'll be armed with memories of the man it takes to keep the vow
A
To keep the vow
[Outro]
E A C#m A x4
