C F Am G

[Verse] 
    C
His old hands were like leather
     F
From working in the cold Carolina weather
Am
Stringing 60 hour weeks together
       G
for my momma, my brother, and me
C
He was old fashion, he was old school
F
American red, white, and blue
Am
But to me he was just cool
    G
the man I wanted to be

[Pre Chorus]
Dm               Em
It ain't setting that he's really gone
F                      Fm
I can call the number, still here in my phone

[Chorus]
C
I'd say hey dad, it's me dad
     G
Just wanted to tell ya that I miss you bad
     F
He'd make me laugh like he always did
          G
Before he said goodbye he'd leave me with this
   C                        G
Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy
  F
I had a good life, one hell of a run
G
It's alright I love you son
C
Hey dad

[Verse]
    C                                     F
I'd tell him that his two grandbabies are turning into little ladies
    Am
And just like him they're a little crazy
G
I talk about him all the time
C                                            F
I'd let him know that me and my brothers are spending more time with one another
      Am
Momma says somedays are better than others
G
I think she's gonna be fine

[Chorus]
C
I'd say hey dad, it's me dad
     G
Just wanted to tell ya that I miss you bad
     F
He'd make me laugh like he always did
          G
Before he said goodbye he'd leave me with this
   C                        G
Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy
  F
I had a good life, one hell of a run
G
It's alright I love you son
C
Hey dad

[Chorus]
   C                        G
Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy
  F
I had a good life, one hell of a run
G
It's alright I love you son
C
Hey dad
