[N] [D] He wore starched white shirt, [G] button at 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
I [D] 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 [G] was his oldest son
[D] And I thought [A] that he walked [D] on water
And if the story [G] was told, only heaven [D] knows
But his hat [A] seemed 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
He tied a cord [G] to the end of a mop
[D] And said, son, here's a pony, [A] keep her at a trot
[D] And I'd ride in circles while he [G] laughed and laughed
[D] Then I'd flop down beside him
And [Bm] he was ninety years old [A] and sixty-three
[G] And I loved him [A] and he loved me
[G] And Lord, I cried [A] the day he died
[D] Because I thought that [A] he walked [D] on water
And if the story [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
Yeah, I thought that he walked on water
[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
I [D] 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
