Chris Young - Flashlight: chords

   D#
He said, "Son, hold it still,
          A#/D          D#/G
keep that beam shinin' straight"
            Cm         A#                G#
He'd have a 9/16ths in one hand, workin' on
that Chevrolet
    D#                             A#/D
It seemed like every Saturday soon as the sun
      D#/G
went down
         Cm            A#              G#
We'd be huddled under-neath that hood tinkering
around

       Fm                             A#
And of all of the great memories I've had
    Fm                   G#          A#
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad

Chorus:
D#/G  G#                          A#
He'll never how much he taught me out
          D#
in that garage
       G#
And I guess the stuff that stuck was
            A#               Cm
more about life than fixing cars
        C#            Cm                    A#
'Cause to this day I still can't make them run right
G#    Fm        Gm      G#        A#
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding
     D#
the flashlight

He told me a lot of stories
About Grandpa and the war
While he was trying to show me
What a carburator’s for
I learned a couple cuss words
When he skinned his knuckles up
And I found out Momma was the only girl
He ever really loved
Then I asked him about women, he just laughed
Said if we stayed out here all year
We wouldn’t have time enough for that

Chorus:
He’ll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
'Cause to this day
I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight

And to this day I still can’t make them run right
But deep inside I know that it’s alright
'Cause I sure learned a lot
Just holding the flashlight

Thanks Dad
