Tim Mcgraw – Walk Like A Man chords

**CAPO 3**

there really is not intro to this song, he just starts on the down stroke of the D

DIn the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
                                         Em  -  D/F#  -   GThought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
G                                                         D               G-DMama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face
        A                                              G                              DIn the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace

DHis old man woke him up to help him find the car
                                      Em  -  D/F#  -   GTake the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
G                                                                    D  G-DAnd swore that he was quittin, and then he'd start to cry
                A                                             G                  DAnd though the boy knew the truth sometimes he'd still believe that lie


Chorus:
          GWhen the sins of the father are the sins of the son
     D                       BmAll you do is crawl when you wanna run
    EmAnd God gave boys their mamas cause
     D/F#They always see their promise
          G              D/F#   Em          AAnd they help them understand
                            D   BmHow to walk like a man
      Em           GWalk like a man


      DThey moved a lot of places, they never settled down
                             Em  -  D/F#  -   GIt got pretty old being the new kid in town
G                                                                   D  G-DHe always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
              A                                            G                      DSaid he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say


Chorus 2:
     GThe sins of the father are the sins of the son
D                                          BmCrawl before you walk, boy, walk before you run
EmCome on, stand up straight
    D/F#I'm proud of you
         G               D/F#          Em       ATake my hand,  I know you can
        D   BmWalk like a man
            Em   GWalk like a man


A                                        D                 GYour daddy's demons are callin' your name
A                                                      D               G Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
A                                         D        GTemptations may come, that ain't no sin
         Em                                         D/F#        G   AYou get stronger every time that you don't give in


Chorus 3:
     GThe sins of the father are the sins of the son
D                                   BmYou can't undo what has been done
Em                          D/F#You'll have to retrace his footsteps
             G   D/F#Through the sand
             Bm                  E7And pray you find the love of a girl
     G                      D/F#And take her by the hand
     Em     AAnd walk on
            Bm-A-GWalk like a      man
