Intro: A | D | E | Bm | A 

Verse:
    A                   D
The tears have all been shed now,
      E                 A
we've said our last goodbye's,
    F#m                      Bm
His soul's been blessed,he's laid to rest,
         B           E
and it's now I feel alone,
       A                D
He was more that just a father,
  E               A
a teacher my best friend,
           F#m                   Bm
And he can still be heard in the tunes we shared,
      B                  E    E7
as we played them on our own. 

Refrein:
  D          A
I never will forget him 
       D              A
for he made me what I am,
          D                    A      F#m
Though he may be gone memories linger on,
      Bm       E        A
And I miss him, the old man.

Solo: A | D | E | Bm

Verse:
As a boy he'd take me walking,
through mountain field and stream,
And he'd show me things not known to kings,
a secret between him and me,
Like the colours of the pheasent,
as she rises in the dawn,
And how to fish and make a wish,
beside the holy tree.

Refrein:
I never will forget him 
for he made me what I am,
Though he may be gone memories linger on,
And I miss him,the old man.

Solo: A | D | E | A | F#m | Bm | B | E 

Verse:
Ithought he'd live forever,
he seemed so big and strong,
But the minuits fly,the years roll by,
for a father and his son,
Then suddenly when it happened,
there was so much unsaid,
No second chance to tell him thanks 
for everything he's done.

Refrein:
  D          A
I never will forget him 
       D              A
for he made me what I am,
          D                    A      F#m
Though he may be gone memories linger on,
      Bm       E       A
And I miss him, my old man.

Outro: A | D | E | Bm |A

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 1
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: B ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
