D A G


[Verse 1]
D                         A       G
Growing up there wasn't much my daddy couldn't fix,
      D                            A        G     
If it wouldn't work he'd make the old look new again,
    A                              
The house, the fence, the bike, the car,
    Bm           A            G
The little girl tears from a broken heart,


[Chorus]
              D
Daddy set the bar real high,
          D/C#        Bm                 
Showed me what a real man looks like,
           A             G               
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
                      A
In his eyes nothing less will do,
                 D
He's gotta be a man of god,
         D/C#          Bm            
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
 A                G           
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
   A                            D/F#     G
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.


[Verse 2]
       D                           A               G       
It's never gonna fly if he's the kinda guy that doesn't fish,
          D                               A             G
He better keep his word, ain't afraid to work, and knows who he is,
        A                               
Strong with his hands gentle with his touch,
    Bm         A       G          
And no such thing as lovin' me too much,


[Chorus]
              D
Daddy set the bar real high,
          D/C#        Bm                 
Showed me what a real man looks like,
           A             G               
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
                      A
In his eyes nothing less will do,
                 D
He's gotta be a man of god,
         D/C#          Bm            
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
 A                G           
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
   A                            D/F#     G
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.

[Interlude]
A G A Bm


[Bridge]
A
Man of few words, A man who leads,
    Bm      A              G
The man he is, is who he wants for me.


[Chorus]
              D
Daddy set the bar real high,
          D/C#        Bm                 
Showed me what a real man looks like,
           A             G               
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
                      A
In his eyes nothing less will do,
                 D
He's gotta be a man of god,
         D/C#          Bm            
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
 A                G           
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
   A                            D/F#     G
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.
