[Verse 1]
   D         D              G    
My dad was a big man with a will 
         G         G
that was tough,
       D      D             D    
he was at his best when the going
     A         A
 was rough.
          D              D        
He made a living for the family 
  G            G         G
and never had to cheat
        D           D         A  
to keep food on the table and 
          D         D
shoes on our feet.

[Chorus]
       G           G         D   
We sat down at the table and 
           D           D
thanked God in prayer
              G         G     
'cause we had plenty to eat and 
  D         A          A
plenty to wear.
       D              D            
We had patches on our britches but 
G             G         G
momma kept us neat.
       D           D         A   
We had food on the table and 
         D         D
shoes on our feet.

You've gotta be a winner, don't

believe in defeat,
            D           D
