Intro:
A A, E E, A A, F#m F#m, D D, E E, A A


A A E E A A
y old man could be your dad's old man
F#m F#m D D E E A A
He lied about his age to fight japan
E E A A
Wasn't long before he came back home
F#m F#m D D E E A A
He had some help from the atom bomb


Back in Allentown where my dad worked
They drank a cold one 'fore they changed their shirts
And every drunken word was his command
The standing order was to understand




F#m F#m D D
And he don't care about nothing else
A A E E A A
Only what he's got to tell himself
A A E E A A
Everybody does the best they can
F#m F#m D D E E A A
But my daddy raised a boy and not a man




I was young and hungry when I left home
Hungry just for something to be hungry for
I had to prove that I could make my way
No matter who it hurt or price I paid

I didn't care about nothing else
Only what I had to tell myself
As looking back I start to understand
My daddy raised a boy and not a man

And then I woke up and I
Realized one day
I ain't got nothing
Cause that's what I gave

Now when I look into my father's eyes
We both see someone we can recognize
He sees a young man who has lost his way
I look at him, I swear I see the same

I don't care about nothing else
Only what I've got to tell myself
Everybody does the best they can
My daddy raised a boy and not a man
