[Verse 1]
Oh, [G]papa sit [Am]down, and [C]hear my [D]song
Oh, and if [G]you feel [Am]like it
then [C]please sing a[D]long
No, no[G]thing that I [Am]wanna say,
I [C]haven't said be[D]fore
But to [G]use your [Am]words,
you can [C]never be too [D]sure
See, [C]even though I don't always [D]show,
I'm glad that you're [G]along[Am][C]
[D]Said I'm glad that you're [G]around

[Verse 2]
Oh [G]sonny, so [Am]strange, to [C]hear and [D]see
That [G]someone so [Am]different is, a [C]soul like [D]me
You may [G]have gone [Am]right,
where I would [C]have gone [D]left
But son, [G]that's al[Am]right,
I will [C]always have your [D]back
See [C]even though, I don't always [D]show
I'm proud of you, [G]my [Am]son[C][D]

Old [C#m]days, and [Am]all of the new
[F]wanting to be like [D]you[E]

[A]Every time I look at [B]you (oh yeah)
I see my[D]self
I'm so [E]proud of you
For [A]you help make me what I [B]am
A better [D]man
I'm just so proud of you

[Verse 3]
Oh dad, [G]your views in [Am]life,
tell me [C]how they came to [D]be
Well see, I [G]didn't know my [Am]father
like the [C]way that you [D]know me
Son, [G]life is just [Am]too short,
for us to [C]never be [D]in touch
Oh, and that's [G]why I want to [Am]tell you
that I [C]love you very [D]much
Oh, [C]even though, I don't always [F]show
You [E]know

[A]Every time I look at [B]you (oh yeah)

For [A]you help make me what I [B]am
A better [D]man
I'm just so proud of you

[Outro 1]
[B]You know that one day too
[C#]I'll be walking in your shoes
[E]And I know that you'll do fine
[F#]'Cause you're a son of mine
[B]Oh, hey papa tell me what you've learned
[C#]So that I don't get my fingers burned
[E]Son, you'll see that as you go
[F#]You'll make mistakes of your own
But [B]that's okay, man
See you [C#]live and you learn
You [E]live and you [F#]learn
