Introduction 

D G D D A  D 
  

    D                              A          D 
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along, 
G              D                   D 
every one that knew him knew which side that he would 
   A      G           D             G 
be on. He never was a hero, or this county's shining 
D                    Em              G 
light, But you could always find him standing up for 
A                   D 
what he thought was right. 

CHORUS 
                D 
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll 
G            D            D 
fall for anything. You've got to be your own man not a 
            A             G                 D 
puppet on a string. Never compromise what's right and 
G                  D            Em     Em/F# 
uphold your family name. You've got to stand for 
G        G/B        A            D 
something or you'll fall for anything. 

Verse 2 
We might of been better off or owned a bigger house, 
if daddy had done more given in or a little more 
backing down. But we always had plenty just living his 
advice. What ever you do today you'll have to sleep 
with tonight. 

REPEAT CHORUS 

BRIDGE 
  G                    D                   G 
I know that things are different than they were in 
        D          G                  G 
daddy's day, but I still believe what makes a man 
G             A 
really hasn't changed. 

Repeat Chorus
