[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
She raised me while mama was workin
C
He left me help him when he built something
F
My first bottle of wine was made with plums
C
And grandpa’s hands
C
He’d sit in his chair with a toothpick, watching
C
One of the many Cleveland ballgames
F
I remember the metroparks and old John Robb
C
And Grandpa’s hands
[Chorus]
Am F C
The strongest man I ever knew was he
Am F C
Taught me how to love, and live, and be
Am F C
The pride that comes from being alive
Am F C
Becoming the man that’s inside
Am F C
And making a family that survives
[Verse 2]
C
Check the papers, find garage sales
C
Knittin slippers when all else fails
F
The most supportive woman ya ever knew
C
And Grandma’s hands
C
Gibson, Les Paul, banjo pickin
C
Becks in the AM, now that ain’t sinnin
F
Listening more than anything
C
And Grandpa’s hands
[Chorus]
Am F C
The strongest man I ever knew was he
Am F C
Taught me how to love, and live, and be
Am F C
The pride that comes from being alive
Am F C
Becoming the man that’s inside
Am F C
And making a family that survives
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Am F C
The strongest man I ever knew was he

Taught me how to love, and live, and be
