VERSE 1
He was a [|][E]giant when [|][A]I was just a 
[B]kid. I was always [|][E]trying to do [|]
[A]everything he [B]did. [|][C#m]I could still 
remember every [|][E-1-2-4-5]lesson he taught 
[A]me. Growing [|][Am]up, learning how to [|]
[B]be, like my old [|][E]man[|] [F#] [|] [A] [|] [B] 

VERSE 2
He was [|][E]a lion, [|][A]we were our father's 
[B]pride. Well, I was [|][E]defiant when he [|]
[A]made me walk the [B]line. [|][C#m]He knew how 
to lift me and [|][E-1-2-4-5]when to let 
me [A]fall. [|][Am]Looking back, he always 
had a [|][B]plan, my old [|][E]man

CHORUS 
My old [|][A][strum]man, feel the [|]
[A]callus on his [|][E]hand, and dust 
the [|][B]overall. 
My old [|][A]Man, now I [|]
[A]finally under[|][E]stand, 
I have a [|][B]lot to learn, 
From my old [|][pick][E]man [|][F#][|] [A] [|] [B] 

VERSE 3
Now I'm a [|][E]giant, got a [|][A]son of my 
[B]own. He's always [|][E]trying to  go [|]
[A]everywhere I [B]go. [|][C#m]Do the best I can 
to [|][[E-1-2-4-5]raise him up the [A]right way. [|]
[Am]Hoping he someday wants 
to [|][B]be, like his old [|][E]man

CHORUS
My old [|][A][strum]man, ... [|]
[A]I know one day we'll meet [|][E]again. 
As he's looking [|][B]down [|]
My old [|][A]man, ... [|]
[A]I hope your proud of who I [|][E]am, 
I'm trying to [|][B]fill the boot, 
of my old [|][E][pick]man [|][F#][|][A][|][B][|][E][\]
