Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D G D

G On the Dday that school let out

My Gsister AnneD and me

Walked thAe fieldsBm behind our house

To Gfind our Christmas tree

D She was six years older

GSo she led the Dway

As we walked ouAt to fiBmnd the tree we'd haGve on ChAristmas daDy. G D G

Now Dweeks of late November rain had Gbrought the creek to Dflood

As we walked Aout acBmross the field

Our Gboots sunk in the mud

I Dsoon realized that I could step inside Gher prints so Dgrand

Until it Aseemed like BmI was walking Gacross the driest Aland

I was Gwalking in your fDoot prints

ACounting every Dstep, Gmeasuring every Dmove you made,

GEvery word you Asaid, and I was Gdancing in your Dshadow, Adoing what you Bmdo.A

I was Glearning how to Dbe like me by Abeing just like Dyou.G D G

DMom could hit a baseball

GLee could fly a Dkite,

Dad knew Aevery Bmconstellation Gin the sky at night

And DAnn could sing about every song that GElvis ever Dsung

And it wasn't Along beBmfore it seemed like GI knew every Aone.

GI was walking in Dyour foot prints

ACounting every Dstep, Gmeasuring every Dmove you made,

GEvery word you Asaid, and I was Gdancing in your Dshadow, Adoing what you Bmdo.A

I was Glearning how to Dbe like me by Abeing just like Dyou.G D G

I was Gwatching how you Dwalked and talked.

GHow you held you Dhead.

GEvery joke that Dmade you laugh.

GEvery book you Aread.

GAnd how you always Ddid your best when Gno one seemed to Dcare,

EmHow you did you did your Dduty,

GHow you did your Ashare.

DNow as I grow older

It's so Geasy to Dforget all the ones who Afollow Bmafter me

GI can't imagine yet

Who Dlearn what I remember,

GWho do what I have Ddone,

Every Astep I Bmtravel now

I Gwalk for more than Aone.

I'm Gwalking in your Dfoot prints

ACounting every Dstep, Gmeasuring every Dmove you made,

GEvery word you Asaid, and I was Gdancing in your Dshadow, Adoing what you Bmdo.A

I was Glearning how to Dbe like me by Abeing just like Dyou.G D G D
