Lynyrd Skynyrd - Rough Around the Edges: chords

Am       G/B    C         D/F#
I knew a man a long long time
F                        G
But I never knew him at all
Am         G/B     C      D/F#
Small in stature, big at heart
F                    G
Oh, he always stood tall

From the time that he was born
He had a style all his own
In my mind he could do no wrong
Misunderstood all along

Chorus:
F   G          Am
He worked hard all his life
C            G        Am
To get what he has today
F        G      Am
We would all be better off, if we could
A#                               G
Hear those words that he had to say
          F      G               Am
He was a little rough around the edges
       A#                    C
And through it all, we all knew he was
   F      G               Am
A little rough around the edges
 A#        F                     G           Am
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you

He took me by the hand
And said son, what's your plan
I won't stop you or stand in your way
Someday you'll be a man

Chorus:
I looked at him with hungry eyes
That only youth can know
With all his wisdom and all his years
He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know
He was a little rough around the edges
And through it all, we all knew he was
A little rough around the edges
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you

Dm           Dm/C
Don't stop now, keep moving
G/B                 A#          C
Don't worry about where you're going,
Dm          Dm/C
I'll hear you, You'll feel me,
G/B           A#      C       Am
I'm there no matter where you go

He was a little rough around the edges
And through it all, we all knew he was
A little rough around the edges
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you
