lyrics

Intro: (A dim) (4) Measures
Verse 1 (A) Even as a(F#m) child, I was(A) always in his(F#m) sight.
(E)He took me by the hand to(D) show me wrong from(E) right
To(A) him it didn’t(F#m) matter(A)what I’d said or(F#) done
(D)Right or(A) wrong I’d(E) always be his(G)son.

Chorus)(D) if you knew my Dad, it(A) easy to see
(D)a picture of the one above by the(A) way that He loved me(E)
(A)(ooh) When I think about my dad, I picture God above. The love of a father, the father’s love..(F#m)(A)(F#m) (4 measures)

verse 2 (A)Though many years have come and gone(D) I know that I’ll(A) remember
(E)With every passing day, there like, (D) a glowing(E) ember
(A) He never turned (E dim) away a soul who(D) came to him in(A) need that’s(D) how he(A) was and(E) how I want to(G) be.
Chorus) (D) if you knew my Dad,(A) it easy to see
(D)a picture of the one above by the(A) way that He loved(E) me
(A)(ooh)T When I think about my dad, I picture God above. The love of a father, the father’s love.
(Bridge)(E dim) They say when were (D) gone, our children must (A dim) carry on. They say that the apple stays close to the tree.(ooh) When grand kids will ask, what was grand~ pa~ like. I pray that these words will be said of me….
Chorus) (D) if you knew my Dad, (A) it easy to see
(D) a picture of the one above by the (A) way that He loved (E) me
A) (Ooh) when I think, about my dad, I picture God above. The love of a father, the father’s love.
Tag; (A) (ooh) to paint a picture, OF~ MY ~DAD, you paint with love. The love of a father, the father’s love.
Alt:
Verse 2 (A) Many years have come and gone (F#m) but I know (A) that I’ll (F#m) remember
(E) with every passing day he’s there like (D) a glowing (E) ember
(A) As I think (F#m) about the things I learned (A) from things that he had (D) done. I’d never know (A) were I (E) not my father’s (G) son.
