Pop's Last Name Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I grew up without a father
He's been locked up
[C]since '96
But there's [Em]an other m[G]an,
he ain't [Em]here no [D]more
That raised me as [C]a kid
We used [G]to ride out to
the battlefield
And he'd tell me stories 'bout the pas[C]t
He taught [Em]me the things he
knew I'd need to know
[D]And answered all the questions
[C]that I'd [Em]ask
I hope he's smiling up
[D]there lookin' down
[C]And proud of this wild child that [Am]came around

[Verse 2]
I got my [G]pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
I still [C]hear him say
"You'll understand when
you get older"
[D]Today, I couldn't be any more grate[G]ful,
thankful, or proud to [C]say
I got my [G]pop's last name
I got my [C]pop's last name

[Verse 3]
He taught me, [G]"Yes, Ma'am", "No Ma'am",
"God is good" and "God is great"
Taught me elbows [C]off the table
And always clean your plate
He said [Em]knowledge over money
'Cause the [D]ones with money always [C]pay
He left little bits of gold
like that all over the place

[Verse 4]
I got my [G]pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
I still [C]hear him say
"You'll understand when
you get older"
[Em]Toda[D]y, I couldn't be any more grateful,[G]
thankful, [C]or proud to say
I got my [G]pop's last name
I got my [C]pop's last name

[Interlude 1]
Yeah
[G][C]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
He gave it to his [D]daughter and me
Along with [C]all that love and
all that [G]time[Em]
And now here I [G]am a [D]father, [G]proud [D]to be
[C]Giving his [Bm]to mine[C]

[Verse 6]
My [G]pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
My [C]pop's last name
I understand now that I'm [Em]older
[D]Today, I couldn't be any more grate[G]ful,
thankful, [D]or proud [C]to say
I got my [G]pop's last name
I got my [C]pop's last name
[G]Yeah
Rest [C]in peace, Pop, I love you, buddy
