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 A# C
Dm              C
Don't stop now, keep moving
A#                 C                 Dm
Don't worry about where you're going,   I'll hear you
C             A#                    C          Am
You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go
