VERSE:
 C           G        Am      C
Yeah, I still got that pocket knife, that red Swiss Army
   F        G        C
The one that wore a hole in his blue jeans

C         G       Am   C
I still got that old guitar, that `60s model
   F                  G
The one with buckle scratches and rusted strings

     F               G
Ohh, but it just don`t sound as good to me
N.C.
As him sayin`


CHORUS:
 Am         G
Don`t mix wine with whiskey
      F     C
Don`t put Jesus in a box
   F        C       G
And never spend more money than you make

Am        G         F           C
And don`t burn a bridge that maybe one day you`ll have to cross
      F        C       G
And don`t let a ball game ruin your Saturday

       F         C
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
    Dm7       C
Those fishin` boat one-liners
 F          C        G
It`s his words that mean most to me now

             C   G   Am  G  F
Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
   G        C  C
The things he handed down


VERSE:
   C         G      Am7        C
Yeah, I still got that bible, that leather-bound King James one
  F      G         C
I swear, every verse, you`ve underlined

 C         G     Am        G
Yeah, I kept that bottle, the one that we both finished
   F               G
The night I said I think I met my wife

   F             G
You shook my hand, and we both smiled

And you said


CHORUS:
 Am        G
Love ain`t always roses
      F         C
Yeah, sometimes you get the thorns
   F      C        G
But buy a dozen every chance you get

     Am          G
Oh, and tell your friends you love `em
       F         C
`Cause some day they could be gone
   F        C        G
And try to live this life with no regrets

       F         C
Yeah, those talks from that recliner
    Dm        C
Those fishin` boat one-liners

 F          C        G
It`s his words that mean most to me now
             C G Am7
Of the things he handed down


BREAK:
 G      F   G C
Yeah ah ah ah ah ah ah
N.C.
I can hear him saying


CHORUS:
 Am7         G
Don`t mix wine with whiskey
      F     C
Don`t put Jesus in a box
   F        C       G
And never spend more money than you make

Am        G         F           C
And don`t burn a bridge that maybe one day you`ll have to cross
 F        C          G
And don`t worry `bout what you can`t change

    F         C
Those talks from that recliner
    Dm        C
Those fishin` boat one-liners
 F          C        G
It`s his words that mean most to me now

             C   G   Am  G  F
Of the things he handed down, down, down, ooh yeah
   G        C
The things he handed down
