shook your hand

he fought in the war
B                                 
He never talked too much about the
                B/E
 other shore
B                                 
But he was real good-looking in

Built her a house down by a creek

Paul Brown Petty built a family

B                            B/E
He opened a shop down on the square
B                                
He'd set you on up in his barber 
B/E
chair
B                             
Get a summertime buzz or a real 
        B/E
close shave
        E           B/D#         
Get you all cleaned up, send you

He went up to meet his maker in 
B/E
'91
B                                 
Sometimes when I talk about him, I
     B/E
 get sad
         E          B/D#      C#m
You see, Paul Brown Petty was my

If you can see a man in me
C#              F#
He's the reason why
