       F  G  Am  F  G 

Am       C/B    C             F 
I knew a man a long long time 
                         G 
But I never knew him at all 

Am       C/B    C             F 
Small in stature, big at heart 
                     G 
Oh, he always stood tall 

Am       C/B    C             F 
From the time that he was born 
                       G 
He had a style all his own 

Am       C/B    C             F 
In my mind he could do no wrong 
                    G 
Misunderstood all along 

F   G          Am 
He worked hard all his life 
C                    Am 
To get what he has today 
F        G      Am 
We would all be better off, if we could 
F                        G 
Hear those words that he had to say 

         F       G               Am 
He was a little rough around the edges 
    F               G 
And through it all, we all knew he was 
   F     G                Am 
A little rough around the edges 
F                  G               ( Am  C/B  C  C/B  F  Em ) 
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you 
(Oh, for you, for you) 

( Am  C/B  C  C/B  F  G ) 
   
Am       C/B           C 
He took me by the hand 
                F         G 
And said son, what's your plan 
Am       C/B    C                    F 
I won't stop you or stand in your way 
                      G 
Someday you'll be a man 

F           G          Am 
I looked at him with hungry eyes 
C                    Am 
That only youth can know 
F             G          Am 
With all his wisdom and all his years 
               F                        G 
He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know 

         F       G               Am 
He was a little rough around the edges 
    F               G 
And through it all, we all knew he was 
   F     G                Am 
A little rough around the edges 
F                  G                         Dm   C Bb C 
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you 

( Dm  C  Bb  C ) 

Dm              C 
Don't stop now, keep moving 
Bb                 C                 Dm 
Don't worry about where you're going,   I'll hear you 
C             Bb                    C          Am 
You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go
