[Intro]
A7 D
[Verse 1]
D
He couldn't move a mountain
D A7
Or pull down a big oak tree
A7
But my daddy became a mighty big man
A7 D
With a simply philosophy
[Chorus]
D
Do what you do do well boy
D A7
Do what you do do well
A7
Give your love and all your of heart
A7 D A7 D
And do what you do do well
[Verse 2]
D
Now sometimes he'd kissed my mama
D A7
And hold her so tenderly
A7
When he'd look across the top of her head
A7 D
Then he'd wink and say to me
[Chorus]
D
Do what you do do well boy
D A7
Do what you do do well
A7
Give your love and all your of heart
A7 D B7 E
And do what you do do well
[Verse 3]
E
Now he was a man of laughter
E B7
But if tragedy came by
B7
The tears ran free and he'd say to me
B7 E
Never be afraid to cry
[Chorus]
E
Do what you do do well boy
E B7
Do what you do do well
B7
Give your love and all your of heart
B7 E C#7 F#
And do what you do do well
[Verse 4]
F#
Today I still remember
F# C#7
Just like it was yesterday
C#7
About a mighty big man with a mighty big heart
C#7 F#
And a mighty few words to say
[Chorus]
F#
Do what you do do well boy
F# C#7
Do what you do do well
C#7
Give your love and all your of heart
C#7 F#
And do what you do do well
C#7 F#
And do what you do do well
