daddy took him out for the first

They sat beneath that big oak tree
                 Cadd9
 and watched the sunrise.
    G                    D        
The deer weren't moving much this

morning, but he still thought it 
  D
was cool.
       Am

green, from his hat down to his 
boots.

man, wantin' to be just like his 
dad.

the two of them spendin' time 
together.

Ready and a waitin with a gun in

don't bury me in no suit and tie.

who I was and where I've been.
