[Verse]
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G
Yeah, I still got that pocket knife that red Swiss army..
F G C
The one that wore a hole in his blue jeans
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G
I still got that old guitar, that... 60s model
F G
The one with buckle scratches and rusted strings
F G
Oh, but it just don't sound as good to me
As him saying
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F C
Don't mix wine with whiskey, don't put Jesus in a box
F Em G
And never spend more money than you make
Am G F C
Don't burn a bridge that maybe one day you'll have to cross
F Em G
Don't let a ball game ruin your Saturday
[Chorus]
F Em
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
F Em
Those fishing boat one-liners
F Em G
It's his words that mean most to me now
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G F
Of the things he handed down...down..........down...oh yeah
G C
The things he handed down
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G
Yeah, I still got that bible......that leather-bound King James one
F G C
I swear, every verse, you've underlined
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G
Yeah, I kept that bottle, the...one that we both finished
F G
The night I said I think I met my wife
F G
And you shook my hand, and we both smiled
And you said
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F C
Love ain't always roses, yeah, sometimes you get the thorns
F Em G
But buy a dozen every chance you get
Am G F C
Oh, and tell your friend you love 'em 'cause some day they could be gone
F Em G
And try to live this life with no regrets
[Chorus]
F Em
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
F Em
Those fishing boat one-liners
F Em G
It's his words that mean most to me now
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G F G C
Of the things he handed down.................................
C
I can hear him saying
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F C
Don't mix wine with whiskey, don't put Jesus in a box
F Em G
And never spend more money than you make
Am G F C
Don't burn a bridge that maybe one day you'll have to cross
F Em G
And don't worry 'bout what you can't change
[Chorus]
F Em
Those talks from that recliner
F Em
Those fishing boat one-liners
F Em G
It's his words that mean most to me now
C Cmaj7sus2/B Am G F
Of the things he handed down..down..........down, oh yeah

The things he handed down
