[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][C][Em][G]
[C][F][Am][F]
[C][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
My [C]father plays pi[F]an [C]o
Any [Am]song you wanna hear
[F]He can read music
But he'd [C]rather play [G]by ear

[Verse 2]
[C]I grew up just trying hard
[Am]To keep up with [F]the man
Hoping one day I could be
The lead[C]er of [F]the band

[Verse 3]
[G]Oo- [C]oo-[F] oo[C]- oo

[Verse 4]
I remember growing up
Not [Am]knowing where to l[F]ean
Could I ever measure up
If I [C]did the music [G]thing

[Verse 5]
[C]Never much on singing
He'd just [Am]rather play along
[F]Guess that's how I ended up
[C]With this mi[G]crophone
[C]

[Verse 6]
[F]
I can hold a guitar
But [G]I'll never play the [C]lead
The only way I'm gonna entertain
Is [Am]in these words I si[F]ng
I could be famous
But [G]I'll never wish to [F]be
I just wanna be an ode
In the [G]old man's symphony

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
I moved to [C]Nashville
When my [Am]friends left for school
[F]Most folks in my hometown
[C]Said I was a [G]fool

[Verse 8]
[C]Cause I can never make it here
[G]If [Am]my dad never did
[F]Guess there is a part of me
That [C]still agrees with [G]them

[Verse 9]
[F]Cause I can hold a guitar
But [G]I'll never play the lead
[C]The only way I'm gonna entertai[Am]n
Is in these words I [F]sing
I could be famous
But [G]I'll never wish to [F]be
I just wanna be an ode
In the old [G]man's [F]symphony

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][Am][F]
[G][F]

[Verse 10]
I could be [F]famous
But [G]I'll never wish to [F]be
I just long be an ode
In the [G]old man's sym[C]phony
[C]
