[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][Gsus4]

[Verse 1]
[G]He taught
[C]me how [F]to drive a Massey
How to [C]work a clutch [F]and keep
it [Am]straight
Wore the gold off [G]a weddin' b[C]and
[F]Only loved one woman 'til [G]her last day
[C]Saturdays we'[F]re checking trout lines
[C]And Catfish sermons in[F]
a John [Am]boat
Talkin' girls [G]and talkin' life
[F]And laughin' at all his [G]clean bad jokes
[Dm]He was Superman in o[C]veralls
[F]At least that's what I thought

[Verse 2]
Now he's [C]up there with the an[F]gels
And [C]the good Lord by [F]his side
And I'm [Am]down here tryin'
like [G]hell not to cry
Still [F]wishin' for a little more [Gsus4]time[G]
He was [C]gentle, he [F]was strong
And when he [C]passed he passed it [F]on
More than that [Dm]money his pocket
That [C]truck that he bought
us [F]back in 1989
More than that [Dm]field full of cotton
He's [C]gone not forgotten,
we [F]might of said goodbye
But a small town man's legacy
never dies
[C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[F]
He [C]had his own garden
and [F]he grew tomatoes
[C]So he could share 'em with the
[F]folks in [Am]town
He'd give his shirt off his [G]back
to [F]a stranger
Everything he owned by
[G]the sweat of his brow
[Dm]Oh, I can see him [C]now
[F]Yeah, I bet he's looking down

[Verse 4]
[C]Up there with the an[F]gels
And [C]the good Lord by [F]his side
And I'm [Am]down here tryin'
like [G]hell not to cry
Still [F]wishin' for a little more [G]time
He was [C]gentle, he was [F]strong
When [C]he passed he passed it [F]on
More than that [C]money [Dm]his pocket
That [C]truck that he bought
us [F]back in 1989
More than that [Dm]field full of cotton
He's [C]gone not forgotten,
we [F]might of said goodbye
But a small town man's legacy
never [C]dies[F][C][F]
It never [C]dies

[Verse 5]
[F]I c[C]an'[F]t wait[Am]
to teach my [G]son
[F]Everything he taught me
I [Am]can't wait to carry [G]on[F]
The legacy

[Verse 6]
Now he's [C]up there with the an[F]gels
"And [C]grandma by [F]his side"
And I'm [Am]down here tryin'
like [G]hell not to cry
Still [F]wishin' for a little more [C]time[G]
He was [C]gentle, he [F]was strong
When he [C]passed he passed it [F]on
More than that [Dm]money his pocket
That [C]truck that he bought
us [F]back in 1989
More [C]than that [Dm]field full of cotton
He's [C]gone not forgotten,
we [F]might of said goodbye
But a small town man's
legacy never [C]dies[F]
It never [C]dies[F]
It never [C]dies[F]
It never dies
[C][F]
