He Walked On Water

D G/D 1. He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck, D A/E and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck. D G/D And his teeth were gone, but what the heck, D A D G A I thought that he walked on water. D G 2. He said he was a cowboy when he was young. D A He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun. D G And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,-- D A D and I thought that he walked on water. G D If the story's told, only heaven knows. A D But his hat seemed to me like an old halo. D7 G And although his wings, they were never seen. A D G/A A/C# I thought that he walked on water. D G 3. Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop, D A and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot." D G And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot. D A D Then I'd flop down beside him. Bm A And he was ninety years old in sixty-three G A and I loved him and he loved me. G A And lord, I cried the day he died, D A D 'cause I thought that he walked on water.
