My Boy chords by Elvie Shane

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
A        E         D      F#m
He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
A         E        D    E   A
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in
          E        D          F#m
I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few
 A        E       D    E  A
The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do


Chorus:
F#m     E         A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
     D           F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
     E          A
I wasn't there for his first steps
       D         F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
        E         A
And that ain't ever gonna change
     D
I could never walk away
F#m      E         D
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
       D        F#m    E  A  D
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy

Verse 2:
A        E      D            F#m
It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
   A          E              E    D
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands
          E       D         F#m
His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
  A            E              D     E   A
I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah


Chorus:

F#m     E         A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
     D           F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
     E          A
I wasn't there for his first steps
       D         F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
        E         A
And that ain't ever gonna change
     D
I could never walk away
F#m      E         D
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
       D        F#m    E  A  D
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy


Bridge:
F#m
He's Saturday morning cartoons
E
He's "Hey, can I sleep in your room?"
A
He's bigger than the plans I had
   D
He's making me a better man


Chorus:

F#m     E         A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
     D           F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
     E          A
I wasn't there for his first steps
       D         F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
        E         A
And that ain't ever gonna change
     D
I could never walk away
F#m      E         D
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
       D        F#m    E  A  D
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy
          F#m   E  A  D
Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
