Family Tree

D D Sunday afternoon church potluck A George Jones blaring from my grandpa's truck Bm Granny's fried chicken and her sweet tea G NC Now that's a bittersweet memory --- D The old tire swing where my little boys play A Well, that was me only yesterday Bm Doing double back flips off the branch in the tank G A Kissing on you and fishing from the bank G D We've had some good times, got through the bad times A D The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times G D G Strong as an oak, solid as a hicko-ry D A D That's a love made in the shade of our family tree D Passed down from my granny and my grandpa A Mom and daddy kept it safe, kept it sturdy and tall Bm Summers were hot, winters were long G But our roots were deep and our faith was strong D Now some are gone, and some are all grown A You and me, baby, branched out on our own Bm With every sunset comes another sunrise G A I can see my daddy in our little boys' eyes G D We've had some good times, got through the bad times A D The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times G D G Strong as an oak, solid as a hicko-ry D A D That's a love made in the shade of our family tree Bm Lost love once throughout the years G Remember their smiles and dry those tears D 'Cause they'll live on in your heart and mine A So let love grow like a country vine G D A D G D Bm-A-Em-A G D We've had some good times, got through the bad times A D The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times G D G Strong as an oak, solid as a hicko-ry D A D That's a love made in the shade of our family tree G D A D Made in the shade of our family tree Outro 1 D Sunday afternoon church potluck Bm G N.C D George Jones blaring from my grandpa's truck --- Outro 2 D A family that prays together A Is a family that stays together Bm Love the Lord thy God and Savior G A With all your heart and love thy neighbor D A family that prays together A Is a family that stays together Bm Love the Lord thy God and Savior G A With all your heart and love thy neighbor D D A A Bm Bm G A
