Intro.: |(D) / (Em/D) / |(A/D) / (D) / | x 2
He (D)said, "Son, hold it still, keep that (A/C#)beam shinin' straight" (D/F#)
He'd have a (Bm)9/16ths in (A)one hand, workin' (G)on that Chevrolet
It (D)seemed like every Saturday soon (A/C#)as the sun went (D/F#)down
We'd be (Bm)huddled under-(A)neath that hood (G)tinkering around
(Pre-Chorus)
And of (Em)all of the great memories I've (A)had
The (Em)best ones are those (G) nights just (A)me and my dad
(Chorus)
(D/F#) He'll (G)never how much he taught me (A)out in that garage (D)
And I (G)guess the stuff that stuck was more about (A)life than fixing cars (Bm)
'Cause to (C) this day I (Bm)still can't make them (A)run right
(G)But I (F#m) (Em)sure did (F#m)learn a lot, (G) just (A) holding the (D)flashlight
Inst.: / (Em/D) / |(A/D) / (D)
He (D)told me a lot of stories about (A/C#)grandpa and the war (D/F#)
While (Bm)he was trying to (A)show me what a car-(G)-buretor's for
(D) I learned a couple cuss words when he (A/C#)skinned his knuckles up (D/F#)
And I (Bm)found out Momma was the (A)only girl he (G)ever really loved
(Pre-Chorus)
Then I (F#m) (Em)asked him about women, he just (A)laughed
(G) Said (F#m) if we (Em)stayed out here all (G)year, we wouldn't have (A)time enough for that
(Chorus)
(D/F#) He'll (G)never how much he taught me (A)out in that garage (D)
And I (G)guess the stuff that stuck was more about (A)life than fixing cars (Bm)
'Cause to (C) this day I (Bm)still can't make them (A)run right
But I (Em)sure did (F#m)learn a lot, (G) just (A) holding the (G)flashlight
Inst.: / / / |(G) / / / |(A) / (D) / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(A) / (Bm)
(Tag)
And to (C) this day I (Bm)still can't make them (A)run right
But deep (Bm)in-(C)side I (Bm)know that it's (A)alright
(G)'Cause I (F#m) (Em)sure did (F#m)learn a lot |(G) |(G) |(A) |(A) ---
Just holding the (D)flashlight
