He Did(Chords)

	        Capo II 


G  Dsus4                       G 
  Love you, love you, love you 
   Dsus4             G 
He did, he did, he did 
   Dsus4              G 
He stood high above you 
       Dsus4 
You were just a little kid 

Bm  A  Asus4 
Bm  A  Asus4 

                 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 

      A         Asus4 
Aaaaaaah-aah-aah-aah 

Bm  A  Asus4 
Bm  A  Asus4 
Bm  A  Asus4 

                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 

G  Dsus4 
G  Dsus4 
G  Dsus4 
(Oooooooooooooooh,) 
G  Dsus4  G  Dsus4 
(Oooooooooooh) 
G  Dsus4  G  Dsus4 

   Bm 
But who gave you an axe to grind? 
A              Asus4 
Who gave you a path to find? 
  Bm 
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
  A         Asus4 
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
 Bm 
Who gave you a row to hoe? 
A            Asus4 
Who gave you your sorrow? 
 Bm 
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
 A          Asus4  
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
 Bm 
Who gave you the break of dawn? 
 A                 Asus4 
A pleasure just to look upon 
 Bm 
Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
 A          Asus4 
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?
