He was a giant

And I was just a kid

I was always trying

Growing up learning how to be like my old man

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

A
Now I'm a giant
D E
Got a son of my own
A
He's always trying
D E
To go everywhere I go
F#m A D
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Dm E
Hoping that he someday wants to be
A
Like his old man
[Solo]
F#m E D x4
[Chorus]
D
My old man
A
I know one day we'll meet again
E
As he's looking down
D
My old man
A
I hope he's proud of who I am
E
I'm trying to fill the boot
A
of my old man
