      [Verse]
        D                     G
He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
         D                              A
And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
        D                    G
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
D               A           D         G  A
I thought that he walked on water.

[Verse]
   D                    G
He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
         D                        A
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
    D                       G
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--
    D              A            D       D7
And I thought that he walked on water.

[Chorus]

               G                  D
If the story's told,  only heaven knows.
                      A              D
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
D7               G                       D
And although his wings,  they were never seen.
               A            D        G  A
I thought that he walked on water.

[Verse]
        D                  G
Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,
           D                   A
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
    D                            G
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed  alot.
     D        A           D
Then I'd flop down beside him.
           Bm                   A
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
    G               A
And I loved him and he loved me.
    G                 A
And lord, I cried the day  he died,
       D              A            D       D7
'cause I thought that he walked on water.

[Chorus]
D7             G                 D
If the story's told, only heaven knows.
                      A              D         D7
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo. 
                 G                      D
And although his wings, they were never seen. 
               A            D      G A
I thought that he walked on water
D               A            D
I thought That he walked on water
