Song: Watching You Tab
D G D D
VERSE I:
D
Drivin’ through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Bb C D
Knowin’ that he couldn’t have the toy ‘til his nuggets were gone.
D
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
Bb C D
His fries went a flyin’, and his orange drink covered his lap
G A
Well, then my 4 year old said a four letter word
G A G
It started with S and I was concerned
A
So I said, son, now where’d you learn to talk like that
CHORUS:
D
He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool
A
I’m your buckaroo, I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
A
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad
G A G/B A G A
I want to do everything you do
D
So I’ve been watching you
D - G
VERSE II:
D
We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Bb C D
Said, lord, please help me help my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turnin’ on my son’s Scooby-doo nightlight
Bb C D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
G A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
G/B A G
Spoke to god like he was talkin’ to a friend
A
And I said, son, now where’d you learn to pray like that
CHORUS:
D
He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool
A
I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
We like fixin’ things and holding momma’s hand
A
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad
G A G/B A G A
I want to do everything you do;
D
so I’ve been watching you
G A
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
G/B A G
Said, my little bear is growin’ up
G D/F# Em D/F#
G A
And he said, but when I’m big I’ll still know what to do
CHORUS:
D
‘cause I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool
A
I’m your buckaroo’ I want to be like you
G A
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
D
By then I’ll be strong as superman
A
We’ll be just alike, hey, won’t we dad
G A G/B A G A
When I can do everything you do
D
‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you
