Introduction

D G D D A  D


    D                              A          D
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along,
G              D                   D
every one that knew him knew which side that he would
   A      G           D             G
be on. He never was a hero, or this county's shining
D                    Em              G
light, But you could always find him standing up for
A                   D
what he thought was right.

CHORUS
                D
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll
G            D            D
fall for anything. You've got to be your own man not a
            A             G                 D
puppet on a string. Never compromise what's right and
G                  D            Em     Em/F#
uphold your family name. You've got to stand for
G        G/B        A            D
something or you'll fall for anything.

Verse 2
We might of been better off or owned a bigger house,
if daddy had done more given in or a little more
backing down. But we always had plenty just living his
advice. What ever you do today you'll have to sleep
with tonight.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
  G                    D                   G
I know that things are different than they were in
        D          G                  G
daddy's day, but I still believe what makes a man
G             A
really hasn't changed.

Repeat Chorus
