Randy Travis - He Walked on Water

      
 
                    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
 
                     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.
