G C/G
1. He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
G D/A
and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
G C/G
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
G D G C D
I thought that he walked on water.
G C
2. He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
G D
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
G C
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--
G D G
and I thought that he walked on water.
CHORUS
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/randy_travis/he_walked_on_water_crd_ver_2.html )
C G
If the story's told, only heaven knows.
D G
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
G7 C
And although his wings, they were never seen.
D G C/D D/F#
I thought that he walked on water.
G C
3. Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,
G D
and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
G C
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.
G D G
Then I'd flop down beside him.
Em D
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
C D
and I loved him and he loved me.
C D
And lord, I cried the day he died,
G D G
'cause I thought that he walked on water.
CHORUS
