Intro :
[G] [D] [D/C#] [Bm] [Bm/A] [G] [A] [D]
[D]I never once backed [F#m/D]down from a punch
Well, [D7]I'd take it square on the [G]chin
Well [Gm]I found out fast, a [D]bullya[D/C#]s jus[Bm]t that
And [Em]youave got to stand up t[A]o him
So [D]I didn't cry when I [F#m/D]got a black eye
As [D7]bad as it hurt I just [G]grinned
But when [Gm]tough little boys grow [D]up to [D/C#] be [Bm]Dads[Bm/A]
They turn [G]into big [A]babies [D]again
[Bm]Scared me to death when you [G]took your first steps
Well I'd [D]fall every[A]time you fell [D]down[D/C#]
And your [Bm]first day of school, I [G]cried like a [D/F#]fool
And I [Em]followed your school bus to [A]town
Chorus:
Well [D]I didn't cry when [F#m/D]old Yeller died
At [D7]least not in front of my [G]friends
But when [Gm]tough little boys grow [D]up to [D/C#] be [Bm]Dads[Bm/A]
They turn [G]into big [A]babies a[G]gain
[D] [D/C#] [Bm] [Bm/A] [G] [A] [D]
Well [D]I'm a grown man but as [F#m/D]strong as I am
Well [D7]sometimes it's hard to bel[G]ieve
How [Gm]one little girl with [D]little [D/C#]blonde [Bm]curls
Can [Em]totally terrify [A]me
If [D]you were to ask, my [F#m/D]wife would just laugh
She'd [D7]say I know all about [G]men
How [Gm]tough little boys grow [D]up to [D/C#] be [Bm]Dads[Bm/A]
They turn [G]into big [A]babies [D]again
Well [Bm]I know one day I'll [G]give you away
And [D]I'm gonna to [A]stand there and [D]smile
But [Bm]when I get home and [G]I'm all a[G/F#]lone
Then [Em]I'll sit in your room for a[A]while
