Capo on 1
Intro.: D Em/D A/D D x2
He
said, “Son, hold it still, keep that [A/C#]beam shinin’ straight”[D/F#]
He’d have a
9/16ths in
one hand, workin’
on that Chevrolet
It
seemed like every Saturday soon [A/C#]as the sun went down[D/F#]
We’d be
huddled under-
neath that hood
tinkering around
(Pre-Chorus)
And of
all of the great memories I’ve
had
The
best ones are those
nights just
me and my dad
(Chorus)
[D/F#]He’ll
never how much he taught me
out in that garage
And I
guess the stuff that stuck was more about
life than fixing cars
‘Cause to
this day I
still can’t make them
run right
But I
sure did
learn a lot,
just
holding the
flashlight
Inst.: Em/D A/D D
He
told me a lot of stories about [A/C#]grandpa and the war[D/F#]
While
he was trying to
show me what a car-
buretor’s for
I learned a couple cuss words when he [A/C#]skinned his knuckles up[D/F#]
And I
found out Momma was the
only girl he
ever really loved
(Pre-Chorus)
And of
all of the great memories I’ve
had
The
best ones are those
nights just
me and my dad
(Chorus)
[D/F#]He’ll
never how much he taught me
out in that garage
And I
guess the stuff that stuck was more about
life than fixing cars
‘Cause to
this day I
still can’t make them
run right
But I
sure did
learn a lot,
just
holding the
flashlight
And to
this day I
still can’t make them
run right
But deep
in-
side I
know that it’s
alright
’Cause I
sure did
learn a lot
Just holding the
flashlight
