Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G
I grew up without a father
Cadd9
He's been locked up since ninety-six
Em7 D
But there's another man, he ain't here no more
Cadd9
That raised me as a kid
G
We used to ride out to the battlefield
Cadd9
And he'd tell me stories 'bout the past
Em D
He taught me the things he knew I'd need to know
Cadd9
And answered all the questions that I'd ask
Em D
I hope he's smiling up there lookin' down
Cadd9 Am7
And proud of this wild child that came around
[Chorus]
G
I got my pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
Cadd9
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get older"
D G Cadd9
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
G
I got my pop's last name
Cadd9
I got my pop's last name
[Verse]
G
He taught me, "Yes, Ma'am", "No Ma'am", "God is good" and "God is great"
Cadd9
Taught me elbows off the table
And always clean your plate
Em
He said knowledge over money
D Cadd9
'Cause the ones with money always pay
He left little bits of gold like that all over the place
[Chorus]
G
I got my pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
Cadd9
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get older"
D G Cadd9
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
G
I got my pop's last name
Cadd9
I got my pop's last name
Yeah
[Instrumental/Solo]
G Cadd9 Em
[Break]
Em D
He gave it to his daughter and me
Cadd9 G Em
Along with all that love and all that time
Em D
And now here I am a father, proud to be
Cadd9 B Cadd9
Giving his to mi-i-ine
G
My pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
Cadd9
My pop's last name
G
I understand now that I'm older
D G Cadd9
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
[Outro]
G
I got my pop's last name
Cadd9
I got my pop's last name
G G
Yeah
Cadd9 Cadd9
Rest in peace, Pop, I love you, buddy
I grew up without a father
He's been locked up since '96
But there's another man, he ain't here no more
That raised me as a kid
We used to ride out to the battlefield
And he'd tell me stories 'bout the past
He taught me the things he knew I'd need to know
And answered all the questions that I'd ask
I hope he's smiling up there lookin' down
And proud of this wild child that came around
I got my pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get older"
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
I got my pop's last name
I got my pop's last name
He taught me, "Yes, Ma'am", "No Ma'am", "God is good" and "God is great"
Taught me elbows off the table
And always clean your plate
He said knowledge over money
'Cause the ones with money always pay
He left little bits of gold like that all over the place
I got my pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
I still hear him say
"You'll understand when you get older"
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
I got my pop's last name
I got my pop's last name
Yeah
He gave it to his daughter and me
Along with all that love and all that time
And now here I am a father, proud to be
Giving his to mine
My pop's last name
Still feel his hand here on my shoulder
My pop's last name
I understand now that I'm older
Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say
I got my pop's last name
I got my pop's last name
Yeah
Rest in peace, Pop, I love you, buddy
