Hey! I'm here again... I love these Lynyrd's new era songs, so here one more... (I hope
it's right, but for me it sounds like this...)

Am C/B C F
I knew a man a long long time
G
But I never knew him at all
Am C/B C F
Small in stature, big at heart
G
Oh, he always stood tall
Am C/B C F
From the time that he was born
G
He had a style all his own
Am C/B C F
In my mind he could do no wrong
G
Misunderstood all along
F G Am
He worked hard all his life
C Am
To get what he has today
F G Am
We would all be better off, if we could
F G
Hear those words that he had to say
F G Am
He was a little rough around the edges
F G
And through it all, we all knew he was
F G Am
A little rough around the edges
F G Am C/B
C C/B F Em
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you
(Oh, for you, for you)
Am C/B C C/B F G
Am C/B C
He took me by the hand
F G
And said son, what's your plan
Am C/B C F
I won't stop you or stand in your way
G
Someday you'll be a man
F G Am
I looked at him with hungry eyes
C Am
That only youth can know
F G Am
With all his wisdom and all his years
F G
He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know
F G Am
He was a little rough around the edges
F G
And through it all, we all knew he was
F G Am
A little rough around the edges
F G Dm C
Bm C
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you
Dm C Bb C
Dm C
Don't stop now, keep moving
Bb C Dm
Don't worry about where you're going, I'll hear you
C Bb C Am
You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go
