G C
The tears have all been shed now
D G
We've said our last good-byes
Am
His soul's been blessed
A
He's laid to rest
G
And it's now I feel alone
C
He was more than just a father
D G
A teacher, my best friend
Am
He can still be heard
A
In the tunes we shared
D
When we play them on our own.
Chorus
C G
I never will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
Em
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
G C
As a boy, he'd take me walking
D G
By mountain field and stream
Am
And he showed me things
A
Not known to kings
G
And secret between him and me
C
Like the colours of the pheasant
D
As he rises in the dawn
Am A
And how to fish and make a wish
D
Beside the holly tree
Chorus
C G
I never will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
Em
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
G C
I thought he'd live forever
D G
He seemed so big and strong
Am
But the minutes fly
A
And the years roll by
G
For a father and a son
G C
And suddenly, when it happened
D G
There was so much left unsaid
Am
No second chance
A
To tell him thanks
D
For everything he's done.
Chorus
C G
I never will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
Em
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
