_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The tears have [Eb] all been shed now, [F] we've said our last [Bb] goodbye.
_ _ _ [G] His soul's been blessed [Cm] and he's laid to rest, [C] and it's now I feel [F] alone.
_ He was [Bb] more than just a [Eb] father, _ a teacher, my [Bb] best friend.
_ [G] He can still be heard [Cm] in the tunes we shared [C] when we played them on [F] our own. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I never will [Bb] forget him, for he [Eb] made me what I [Bb] am.
_ Though he [Eb] may be gone, [Bb] memory _ [Gm] lingers on, _ _ [Cm] and I miss him, [F] _ _
the [Bb] old man.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Bb] As a boy he'd take me [Eb] walking _ by [F] mountain, field [Bb] and stream,
_ _ [G] and he'd show me things _ [Cm]
not known to kings, [C] _ a secret [F] between him and me.
_ _ [Bb] Like the colours of the [Eb] pheasants as [F] he rises in [Bb] the dawn,
_ _ [G] how to fish _ [Cm] and make a wish _ [C] _ beside the holy [F] tree.
_ I _ _ _ [Eb] never will [Bb] forget him, for he [Eb] made me what I [Bb] am.
_ [Eb] Though he may be gone, memory [F] _ [Gm] lingers on, _ _ [Cm] and I miss him, _ _ [F] _ the old man.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] I thought he'd live [Eb] forever, _ [F] cause he seemed so big [Bb] and strong. _
[G] But the minutes fly [Cm] and the years roll by, _
[C] for a father [F] and his son. _ _ _
[Bb] And suddenly [A] when it happens, [Eb] _ there was [F] so much left [Bb] unsaid.
_ [G] No second chance [Cm] to tell him thanks [C] for _ everything [F] he'd done. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I never will [Bb] forget him, _ [Eb] for he made me what [Bb] I am. _
Though [Eb] he may be gone, memory [Bb] _
lingers [Gm] on, _ _ [Cm] and I miss him, _ [F] _ _ _ my old man.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ I never will forget him, for he made me what I am. _ _ _ _ _
