Capo on 3rd fret
              
  
 
 
Intro:
 
D    A    Bm       G 
  Oooh, oooh, oh ooooh   
  
  
D                         A 
 When I was just a little boy 
                       Bm 
Barely stong enough to stand 
                      G     D 
I can always count on him, oh 
                          A 
He taught me everything I know  
                     Bm 
And till this day it shows  
                      G 
He was more than just a friend 
 
 
Em                  A                     Em 
  There was so many times I would doubt myself 
                          A -once 
But his words were always there to help 
 
           D 
I wouldn´t be  
        Asus4    
Where I am  
      G 
If my father didn´t tell me  
Asus4                   
To never say I can´t  
           D 
He´d carry me 
          F# 
And never let me fall 
           G             D2           
Oh and the only thing he asked  
        Em 
Right before he passed          
        A-mute            D 
It´s to never say you can´t 
  
A                  Bm       G 
Oh, never say you can´t, oh oh 
 
 
D                             A 
 So when lifes rain begins to fall 
                             Bm 
And you're out there on your own 
                    G              D 
And you can't see a thing oh no, no 
                               A 
Just find that voice that understands 
                     Bm 
For me it was my old man 
                     G 
Taught me to say the words "I can", Oh 
 
 
Em                  A                     Em 
  There was so many times I would doubt myself 
                          A -once 
But his words were always there to help 
 
 
           D 
I wouldn´t be  
        Asus4     
Where I am  
      G 
If my father didn´t tell me  
Asus4                   
To never say I can´t  
           D 
He´d carry me 
          F# 
And never let me fall 
           G             D2           
Oh and the only thing he asked  
        Em 
Right before he passed          
        A-mute            G 
It´s to never say you can´t 
 
 
                              A 
Everything you taught me will stay with me forever 
     D       A     Bm      
No I wont forget a thing 
  G                          A 
Oh because of dad I now know my son better 
        Asus4                          -mute 
And I hope I can do for him what he did for me  Oh 
 
                      
           D 
I wouldn´t be  
        Asus4     
Where I am  
      G 
If my father didn´t tell me  
Asus4                   
To never say I can´t  
           D 
He´d carry me 
          F# 
And never let me fall 
           G             D2           
Oh and the only thing he asked  
        Em 
Right before he passed          
        A-mute            D 
It´s to never say you can´t 
  A               Bm       G 
Oh, never say you can´t, oh oh 
              D-once 
Never say you can't
