C            G      C          F 
I could see forever up on his shoulders 
C            Am          F              G 
And I never lost my way when he held my hands 
Am                 Dm        G               C 
and when he told a story I'd sit there on his knee 
F                        G                 C                     
But up on his shoulders is were I loved to be 
 
Same as intro 
 
C                     G     C            F 
Grand Dads legs were weary, His fingers bent 
C              Am      F                   G      
And skin like leather from working on the land 
Am                   Dm                 G                  C 
And even though his back was tired from years of toil and sweat 
F                 C                 G             C                 
He'd see my face and grab my hands and say up you get 
 
 
I could see forever up on his shoulders 
And I never lost my way when he held my hands 
and when he told a story I'd sit there on his knee 
But up on his shoulders is were I loved to be

Am            Dm              G             C 
Stubborn and determined with tender hearted pride 
F             C        Dm               G   
I never saw a teardrop in my Grand dads eyes 
Am               Dm            G                C 
until the day he put my little feet down on the floor 
F                            C             Dm        G 
and said I don't think these shoulders can hold you anymore 
 
 
I could see forever up on his shoulders 
And I never lost my way when he held my hands 
and when he told a story I'd sit there on his knee 
But up on his shoulders is were I loved to be 
 
Am             F        G                       C 
Yeah up on his shoulders      is were I love to be
