Paul Brown Petty (CHORDS) by Brandon Heath
B
Paul Brown Petty was a good ol' man
B
You felt a little better when he shook your hand
B
Let me tell you a little 'bout him and you'll understand
B
Why Paul Brown Petty was a good ol' man
E
He grew up in the depression and he fought in the war
E
He never talked too much about the other shore
E
But he was real good-looking in his uniform
E
Officer Petty in '44
[Chorus]~
E G#m
And you might say,.. hey,.. what's so great
B C#m
Sounds like a simple man
E G#m
He wasn't rich or famous but to me
B G#m
He sure was grand
B
He married a girl from down the street
B
Built her a house down by a creek
B
One girl,.. two boys,.. five mouths to feed
B
Paul Brown Petty built a family
E
He opened a shop down on the square
E
He'd set you on up in his barber chair
E
Get a summertime buzz or a real close shave
E
Get you all cleaned up,.. send you on your way
[Chorus]~
E G#m
And you might say,.. hey,.. what's so great
B C#m
Sounds like a simple man
E G#m
He wasn't rich or famous but to me
B G#m
He sure was grand
E
He was a Cumberland Presbyterian
E
He went up to meet his maker in '91
E
Sometimes when I talk about him,.. I get sad
E
You see,.. Paul Brown Petty was my granddad
[Chorus 2]~
E G#m
His courage runs down in my blood
B C#m
His kindness in my eyes
E G#m
If you can see a man in me
B C#m
He's the reason why
B
Paul Brown Petty was a good ol' man
B
You felt a little better when he shook your hand
B
And if you could've known him,.. you'd understand
B
