Love you, love you, love you

He did, he did, he did

He stood high above you

You were just a little kid

Bm
Your daddy was a farmer
A Asus4
His back was burnished red and gold
Bm A Asus4
And every time he closed his eyes a rooster crowed
Bm
He sowed a hundred rows of corn
A Asus4
The summer you were born
Bm A Asus4
And wondered what your life would yield
Bm A Asus4 Bm A Asus4
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his,
Bm A Asus4
how it fe-e-e-e-els
Bm
Your daddy was a builder
A Asus4
He swung his hammer brown and silver
Bm A Asus4
Every time he closed his eyes a nail was drove
Bm
And you were always underfoot
A Asus4
Like a splinter in the wood
Bm A Asus4
He couldn't pull you from his heels
Bm A Asus4 G
How it fe-e-e-e-els, how it feels
Dsus4 G
Love you, love you, love you
Dus4 G
He did, he did, he did
Dsus4 G
He stood high above you
Dsus4 G
Sky around his head
Dsus4 G
Sawdust in his hair
Dsus4 G
A scarecrow of a man
Dsus4 G Dsus4 Bm
He couldn't dra-a-w you near to him

Bm
But you grew up straight and you grew up true
A Asus4
He kept a blue-gray eye on you
Bm A Asus4
Until the day he closed his eyes and left them closed
Bm
Your daddy didn't leave a will
A Asus4
He left a shovel and a hole to fill
Bm A Asus4
And how it feels, how it feels
Bm A Asus4 Bm A Asus4
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his
Bm A Asus4 G Dsus4
How it fe-e-e-e-els to be alive like this

Who gave you the break of dawn?

A pleasure just to look upon

Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Bm
Who gave you a barn to build?
A Asus4 (hold) Bm
And an empty pa-a-a-a-a-ge, to fill?
