[Verse]
          C (C2)
He was a giant
   F              G
And I was just a kid
              C   (C2)
I was always trying
      F            G
To do everything he did
  Am                       C         F
I can still remember every lesson he taught me

Growing up learning how to be 
             C*
like my old man

[Verse]
      C   (C2)
He was a lion
     F              G
We were our father's pride
          C    (C2)
But I was defiant
    F                 G
When he made me walk the line
Am
He knew how to lift me up
     C            F
And when to let me fall
  Fm                         G
Looking back, he always had a plan
        C
My old man
 
[Chorus]
     F  (Fmaj7)
My old man
           Fm             C
Feel the callus on his hands
        G
And dusty overalls
      F  (Fmaj7)
My old man
        Fm          C
Now I finally understand
         G
I have a lot to learn
             C*
From my old man

[Verse]
         C   (C2)
Now I'm a giant
     F          G
Got a son of my own
          C   (C2)
He's always trying
     F            G
To go everywhere I go
Am                            C       F
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Fm                            G
Hoping that he someday wants to be
             C
Like his old man
  
[Chorus]
      F  (Fmaj7)
My old man
              Fm           C
I know one day we'll meet again
       G
As he's looking down
      F  (Fmaj7)
My old man
            Fm            C
I hope he's proud of who I am
              G
I'm trying to fill the boot 
     C
of my old man

My old man
