Intro: G Am7 C G G Am7 C G 

verse 1 
        G           Am7 
I put a fishing rod by your bed 
C               G 
Right next to a bible 
           G             Am7 
I leaned a guitar in the corner of your room 
          C         G 
With some Milsap on vinyl 
             G                   Am7     C              G 
I figured the best thing I could do was put a thing or two 
            G                Am7           C            G 
And that it wouldn't hurt to have in your way, on your path

                 G              Am7 
Hoping you might pick it up one day 
              C                          G 
And you might learn a couple pretty cool things 
       G          Am7 
That I love to do 
             C                        G 
Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you 
        G                   Am7 
I don't know what you gonna be 
               C                       G 
But I hope you smile when you think of me 
               G 
Cause I helped make you 
             Am7                   C 
But I didn't ever try to make you pick it up 
         G           Am7         C G 
You just pick it up, pick it up 


verse 2 
G              Am7 
Early to rise, headin' to work 
C                   G 
Open the door for a stranger 
G                  Am7 
Yes sir, yes Mama, red dirt on my hands 
C 
Showing you the best way I can
