Song: Measure Of A Man Tab

Capo 4 

D                     Asus4
When I was fifteen, I left home young
Em7                    G
Tore up the tracks and then some
D                    Asus4
Me and my dad didn't see eye to eye
  Em7                   G
I never took to him, he never took the time
Bm         A
Bulletproof, more than tough
G            (NC)
Smarter than he ever was



CHORUS
       D                            Asus4
Well I burned those wheels down the highway
      Em7                        G
And I learned what I learned the hard way
       D                     Asus4
Do the best you can do, love many, trust few
     Em7                        G
Work hard for the money in your hands
(NC)                  D    Asus4
That's the measure of a man
                      Em7    G
Yeah the measure of a man


D            Asus4
Anger burns, love cools it down
Em7                          G
Pretty young woman turned my head around
    D                            Asus4
The world through her eyes looks so different
    Em7                 G
She lives on faith, she looks for forgiveness
Bm        A
Foolproof, it ain't easy
G
I need her, she needs me and


    D                      Asus4
She stole my heart on this highway
    Em7                           G
She taught me to love through the hard days
           D                           Asus4
Yeah she's cool when I'm not, she's as steady as a rock
         Em7                  G
She's as solid as the ring on my hand
                        D    Asus4
That's the measure of a man
                      Em7    G
Yeah the measure of a man

(Repeat chord progression 1 time during instrumental)


Bm                         A
Last night she handed me a son of my own
   G
It killed me to do it, but I picked up the phone



(Palm muted/fingerpicked/quietly)

          D                          Asus4
Hey dad I burned ten years down this highway
      Em7                        G
And I learned what I learned the hard way
         D                           Asus4
Truth is I need you, we'll cry if we need to
         Em7                 G
And I'll swallow my pride if you can
                        D    Asus4
That's the measure of a man
                         Em7  G
Oh yeah, the measure of a ma-an
