Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Yeah, I still got that [A]pock[D]et knife,
that red Swiss army
The [G]one that wore [D]a hole in his blue jeans
I still got that [A]old gui[D]tar, [Bm]that 60s[D]model
The [G]one with buckle scratches
and rusted [A]strings
Oh, but [G]it just don't sound
as good [A]to me[Asus4]
[A]As him saying

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Don't mix wine with whis[A]key,
don't put [G]Jesus in [D]a box
And [G]never spend more
[D]money than [A]you make
[Bm]Don't burn a bri[A]dge that maybe
one [G]day you'll have [D]to cross
Don't [G]let a ball game
ru[D]in your Saturday
[A]Yea[D]h, those tal[G]ks from tha[D]t recliner
Those [Em]fishing boat one-liners
[D]It's [G]It's his words that mean
[D]most [A]to me now
Of the things he handed [D]down,
[A]down, [Bm]down, [A]oh [G]yeah
The thing[A]s he handed d[D]own

[Verse 3]
Yeah, [D]I still got that bib[A]le,
that [Bm]leather-bound King King [D]James one
I [G]swear, every [A]verse,
you've [D]underlined
Yeah, I kept that [A]bottle,
[Bm]the one that we both [D]finished
[A]The[G] night I said I think
I met [A]my wife
And you [G]shook my hand,
and we [Bm]both [A]smiled

[Verse 4]
And you said
[Bm]Love ain't always [A]roses,
yeah, some[G]times you get [D]the thorns
But [G]buy a dozen [D]every chance [A]you get
Oh, and [Bm]tell your friend [A]you love 'em
'cause some [G]day they could be [D]gone
And [G]try to live this [D]life with no [A]regrets
Yeah, those [G]talks [D]from that recliner
Those [Em]fishing boat one-liners
[D]It's [G]It's his words that mean
[D]most to me [A]now
Of the things he handed
[D]dow[A]n[Bm]
[A]Yeah-yeah I

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Don't mix wine with whis[A]key,

And [G]never spend [D]more money
than [A]you [D]make[A]
[Bm]Don't burn a bri[A]dge that maybe
one [G]day you'll have [D]to cross
[G]And don't worry [D]'bout
what you can't [A]change
Those [G]talks from [D]that recliner

Of the things he handed [D]down,
