Subject: Tough Little Boys by Gary Allan from Robert McAdams
GmD BmG A D
D F#m
I never once backed down from a punch
D7 G
Well I'd take it square on the chin
Gm D Bm
I found out fast a bully's just that
G A
You've got to stand up to him
D F#m
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
D7 G
As bad as it hurt I just grinned
GM D Bm
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
Bm G
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
D A D
Well I'd fall every time you fell down
Bm G
And Your first day of school I cried like a fool
D A
And I followed your school bus to town
D F#m
I didn't cry when old yeller died
D7 G
At least not in front of my friends
Gm D BmÊÊÊ
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
GmD BmG A D
D F#m
I'm a grown man but as strong as I am
D7 G
Well sometimes its hard to believe
Gm D Bm
How one little girl with little blonde curls
G A
Can totally terrify me
D F#m
If you were to ask my wife would just laugh
D7 G
She'd say I know all about men
Gm D Bm
And how tough little boys grow up to be dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
Bm G
Well I know one day I'll give you away
D A D
And I'm gonna stand there and smile
Bm G
When I get home and I'm all alone
ÊÊÊ
I'll sit in your room for a while
D F#m
I didn't cry when old yeller died
D7 G
At least not in front of my friends
Gm D Bm
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
