A7 D

[Verse 1]
    D
Now he couldn't move a mountain
   D                   A7
Or pull down a big oak tree
       A7
But my daddy became a mighty big man
       A7            D
With a simple philosophy

[Chorus]
D
Do what you do, do well boy
D                  A7
Do what you do, do well
A7
Give your love and all o' your heart
    A7                 D    A7 D
And do what you do, do well

[Verse 2]
    D
Now sometimes he'd kiss my mama
    D                 A7
And hold her so tenderly
          A7
Then he'd look across the top of her head
          A7              D
Then he'd wink and say to me

[Chorus]
D
Do what you do, do well boy
D                  A7
Do what you do, do well
A7
Give your love and all o' your heart
    A7                 D     B7
And do what you do, do well, well

[Verse 3]
    E
Now he was a man of laughter
         E            B7
But if a tragedy came by
    B7
The tears ran free, then he'd say to me
      B7           E
Never be afraid to cry

[Chorus]
E
Do what you do, do well boy
E                  B7
Do what you do, do well
B7
Give your love and all o' your heart
    B7                 E    C#7 F#
And do what you do, do well

[Verse 4]
  F#
Today I still remember
     F#                C#7
Just like it was yesterday
        C#7
About a mighty big man with a mighty big heart
      C#7                 F#
And a mighty few words to say

[Chorus]
F#
Do what you do, do well boy
F#                 C#7
Do what you do, do well
C#7
Give your love and all o' your heart
    C#7                F#
And do what you do, do well
C#7                F#
Do what you do, do well
C#7                F#
Do what you do, do well
