How to Play Craig Campbell's Family Man

Capo 4 Standard tuning

Intro + Verse Pattern: C D4 Em7 D/F# G x2

I've been working as a temp
At the local factory
I hope they hire me on full time
G
I've got shoes to buy
C
And a mouth to feed
I drive a buy here, pay here truck
It ain't new but it is to me
It ain't much but it fires right up
G            C
And gets me from A to B

Pre-Chorus:

Dsus4
What puts the dirt underneath my nails
F
What keeps the calluses on my hands
C
Family man

Chorus:
G
They're the world, my world revolves around
Dsus4
My sacred piece of solid ground
Em7
The flesh and bone
Dsus4             Cadd9
That gives me strength to stand
G
They are the fire in my drivin' on
D
The drive behind my comin' home
Em7                    Dsus4          Cadd9
The livin', breathin', reason that I am
G
A family man

There's dirty shirts to wash
Dishes in the sink to do
And there's how many times
Does 17 go into 52
There's bedtime prayers to pray
Sleep tights and I love you's
And then there's a pair of eyes

I get to lose myself into
What keeps me keepin' the faith
What makes me believe I can
Family man
They're the world, my world revolves around
My sacred piece of solid ground
The flesh and bone
That gives me strength to stand

They are the fire in my drivin' on
The drive behind my comin' home
The livin', breathin', reason that I am
A family man

They're the fire in my drivin' on
The drive behind my comin' home
The livi'n, breathin, reason that I am
A family man, a family man

When I caught you looking my way, I smiled and just knew it.

And up until you came along, no one ever heard my song,
                       Cadd9
Now its climbing with a bullet.
D                   Am                    D
Its nice to have someone, so honestly devoted,

But when it’s said and done,       girl I hope you know that,

This life, this love that you and I have been dreaming of, for so long

Along comes a baby girl, and a suddenly my little world,

Just got a whole lot bigger, yes it did.

And people that I barely knew, love me ‘cause I’m part of you
                  Cadd9
Man it's tough to figure

How two souls can be, miles from one another

That I could live this life,       just going through the motions

And those lips, look to good to be true
Once I taste that kiss, I know what'll happen
I'll be at the mercy of you

How to Play Pancho and Lefty by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard

(Verse 1)
D
Livin' on the road, my friend
A
Was gonna keep us free and clean
G
But now you wear your skin like iron
D A
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
G
You weren't your mama's only boy
D G
But her favorite one, it seems
Bm G A
She began to cry when you said good bye
G Bm
And sank into your dreams
(Verse 2)
D
Pancho was a bandit, boys
A
Rode a horse fast as polished steel
G
Wore his guns outside his pants
D A
For all the honest world to feel
G
Pancho met his match, you know
D G
On the deserts down in Mexico
Bm G A
No one heard his dyin' words
G Bm
But that's the way it goes
(Chorus)
G
And all the federales say
D G
They could have had him any day
Bm G A
They only let him slip away
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
(Verse 3)
D
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues
A
All night long like he used to
G
The dust that Pancho bit down South
D A
It ended up in Lefty's mouth
G
The day they laid old Pancho low
D G
Lefty split for Ohio
Bm G A
Where he got the bread to go
G Bm
Well there ain't nobody 'knows
(Chorus)
(Verse 4)
D
Now poets sing how Pancho fell
A
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
G
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
D A
And so the story ends, we're told
G
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
D G
But save a few for Lefty, too
Bm G A
He only did what he had to do
G Bm
And now he's growin' old
(Chorus)
(Final Chorus)
D
Yes a few old gray federales still say
D G
They could have had him any day
Bm G A
They only let him go so wrong
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
