Verse 

G                      C     G 
I ain’t nothing but a mockingbird 
G                  D          G 
Singing all these songs I’ve heard 
G                      C    Em 
It’s why I learned to play guitar 
G                    D       G 
It’s why I’m singing in this bar 
G               D       G 
Why I’m singing in this bar 
G                           C     G 
Well my grandpa worked for Westinghouse 
G                   D          G 
Until the day his health went south 
G                            C        Em 
He used to let me sip from a 12 ounce can 
G                       D    G 
And he taught me how to be a man 
G                D    G 
Taught me how to be a man 

              C           G              D             G 
And now it’s four on the floor another dollar in the jukebox 
C                  G               D 
One more round for my good-timing friends 
     C             G           D              Em 
Its last call for alcohol, an empty glass is playing 
      G             D              G 
And I turned out to be a lot like him

In my Levi jeans and snakeskin boots 
              D-G 
I dress like 1982 
        G               C       Em 
But these are all just hand-me-downs 
      G                 D         G 
Of things he bought in one horse towns 
  G                  D          G

And my daddy was his father’s son 
                             D     G 
He loved drinking beer and having fun 
     G            C      Em 
He passed it all down to me 
   G                 D     G 
Along with his old faded jeans 
  G                 D      G 
Along with his old faded jeans 

              C            G             D             G 
And now it’s four on the floor another dollar in the jukebox

One more round for my good timing friends 
        C            G           D             Em 
It’s last call for alcohol, an empty glass is playing 
    G               D              G 
And I turned out to be a lot like him
