The Strongest Man I've Ever Known (Grandpa's Song) chords
Start Jamming...
This is about my grandfather who meant a lot to me and
He passed away in 2003
And I wrote this song after we knew that he was sick, and he wasn't gonna be around much longer
One I wanted to sing it at his funeral to kind of honor him, but two I wrote it to really remind me over the years
Of what he meant to me and who he really was to me
I was afraid that I might forget over time and I thought if I put it in a song it might help me remember so
I hope you guys like this.
It's called strongest man.
I've ever known I
[F#m]

He showed me what it means to [D] be brave
Never [Bm] walk away
[E] He taught
[A] me to bob a [F#m] fish with a cane pole
[A] And how to [E] tie my tie
[E] [A] Told me to take my [F#m] hat off at the table
[A] To always hold [E] my head up high [D] just [A] by watching him
[E] [D] Good [A] man He is
[E] [D]
[A] Everything he does
[E] It's all [Bm] me so much more than [F#] he'll [E] ever know

Never [Bm] walk away
[E] He's the strongest man [A] I've ever known
[D] When I [E] say my prayers at night
[A] Thank God that I was so [F#m] bad
in this life
[D] Have someone [E] like him
So so filled with life
[F#m] Start there there's ever been
[D] Never be another [E] one like him
[A] Cuz he taught me [E] right from wrong he showed me what it [F#m] means to be strong
Told me to work hard [D] every day
Go [A] my way
He told me to always do [E] the right thing to always be there for my [F#m] family
