He Walked on Water Chords by Randy Travis

He wore starched white shirt, [G] buttoned up the neck,
[D] And he'd sit in the shade and [A] watch the chickens peck. _
[D] And his teeth were gone, [G] but what the heck, _
[D] I thought [A] that he walked _
[D] on water. _ _ _ _ _
Said he was a cowboy _ [G] when he was young,
[D] He could handle a rope, [A] and he was good with a gun.
[D] And my mama's daddy was [G] his oldest son,
[D] And I thought [A] that he walked [D] on water.
_ _ _ Yet the story [G] he was told, _ _ only heaven [D] _ _ knows.
But his hat seemed [A] to me _ like an old [D] halo,
_ _ _ _ And though [G] his _ wings, _ they were never [D] seen.
_ _ _ _ I _ thought [A] that he walked [D] on water.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
[D] He tied a cord [G] to the end of a mop,
[D] And said, son, here's a pony, [A] keep her at a cross.
[D] And I'd ride in circles while he [G] laughed and laughed,
[D] Then I'd flop [A] down [D] beside him.
Said [Bm] he was ninety years old [A] in sixty-three, _
[G] And I loved him, [A] and he loved me.
[G] And Lord, I cried [A] the day he died,
[D] Cause I thought [A] that he walked [D] on water.
_ Yet the story he [G] was told, _ _ only heaven [D] _ knows.
_ _ But his hat seemed to [A] me _ _ like an old [D] halo,
_ _ _ _ And though his [G] _ _ wings, they were never [D] seen. _ _ _ _ _ _
I thought _ [A] that he walked [D] on water.
I _ _ _ _ thought _ [A] that he walked _ _ [D] on water. _ _ _ _
