(Verse) D A Decided to write a song for my hero A D Considering he's done so much for me Bm D He's the one that pulled me up when I fell down so low A D He's the one that led me through the darkness when I could not see Bm D Never met a man more gentle or any humbler Bm A Never once heard him raise his voice or saw him mad Bm D But I watched him break his back on coal and lumber G A To give her everything she never had (Chorus) Bm D Cause when it all comes down to zero A Bm There's nothing more this life could ever give D Bm And I know I'll never find another hero G A Not another one like him D A Born on a summer day in some dark holler A D Way back in the hills of Perry County Bm D Well he grew up poor and he never saw a dollar A G A But a dollar ain't no good in a coal camp anyway (Chorus) Bm D And if I'm half the man he is when I die A Bm I don't know if I could ask for too much more D Bm He taught me you only need one hand to count your real friends in this life A D Am But if you find true love you better take both arms and hold on til your sore (Chorus) D A Decided to write a song for my hero A D Considering he's done so much for me
