He was a giant

[Verse 2]
C#
He was a lion
F# G#
We were our father's pride
C#
But I was defiant
F# G#
When he made me walk the line
A#m
He knew how to lift me up
C# F#
And when to let me fall
F#m G#
Looking back, he always had a plan
C#
My old man
[Chorus]
F#
My old man
C#
Feel the callus on his hands
G#
And dusty overalls
F#
My old man
C#
Now I finally understand
G#
I have a lot to learn
C#
From my old man
[Bridge]

Now I'm a giant
F# G#
Got a son of my own

He's always trying
F# G#
To go everywhere I go

Do the best I can to raise him up the right way

Hoping that he someday wants to be

Like his old man

F#
My old man
C#
I know one day we'll meet again

As he's looking down

My old man

I'm trying to fill the boot
C#
of my old man
