[Bb] I loved to hear my daddy [Ab] play [Eb] all the songs [Gm] that he taught me when I [Bb] was a kid.
[Eb] John Henry, Old [Ab] Sheldon, and Faded Love.
I [Eb] fought the pieces [Bb] and all the ways [Eb] of the dark.

I made it from the pier in Memphis [Ab] to the office station.
[Eb] He said the only difference [Bb] is what you get paid.
[Eb] He needed the care that everybody [Ab] knew my name.
He [Eb] said, if you stand in front of [Bb] the Lord, [Eb] you're going to stay the same.
Let him die, the preacher cried and [Ab] said, he's the lucky one.
[Eb] He's walking hand in hand with [Bb] God's only son.
[Eb] My faith, common sense, tell [Ab] me the preacher's right.
[Eb] I love to [Bb] hear a man's own way, [Eb] meaning that.
I will [Ab] honor my father [Eb] with these words I write down.
[Ab] And as long as I remember him, [Eb] he'll always be [Bb] around.
[Eb] Man, the pain of losing him cuts [Ab] like a ramblin' knife.
Burn [Eb] if you're cold on [Bb] the banjo, [Eb] keep it lovin'.
