    C - F - Dm - G

 

                C                                                    F

1. He's Spiderman in Walmart boots and a camouflage hat

               Dm                                       G

    with a baby blue Zebco that gets hung up every cast.

             C                                                      F

    He thinks he's learning fishing from the man who taught Bill Dance,

               Dm                              G

    and I think I untangle it and put it in his hands.

 

             C                                             F

Well, I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon,

               Dm                                              G

and I've never scared a monster out the closet in his room.

             C                                                        F

Some day between him leaving home and driving on my knee,

  Dm                    G                                   C

maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me.

 

                          C                                                        F

2. Waves that blanket like the checkered flag pulling off the interstate,

                 Dm                                              G

    with a Happy Meal cup held high like I won the big race.

                 C                                                       F

    When we get home, his mind is blown when I untie his shoes,

              Dm                                                  G

    he smiles and says, "Daddy, there ain't nothing you can't do !"

 

             C                                             F

Well, I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon,

               Dm                                              G

and I've never scared a monster out the closet in his room.

             C                                                        F

Some day between him leaving home and driving on my knee,

  Dm                    G                                   C

maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me.

 

+  C - F - Dm - G

 

       C                                            F

I know he's gonna find out that I didn't hang the moon,

                  Dm                                        G

and there never was a monster in the closet of his room.

             C                                                  F

Some day when he's driving home with his son on his knee,

    Dm                   G                                   C    - F

I hope he's tryna be, the man he sees in me.

 

                                      Dm  - G                                 C

+  The man he sees in me,         the man in sees in me.
