     G                                G                   
He'd give you his last cold beer or a shirt right off his back
         Em                                     C
He could barely get on that John Deere but he'd cut his neighbor's grass
         G                                           
He's the first one there on Sunday three thousand weekends straight
          Em                                          C
But even when he didn't have much money he never just passed that offering plate


C              G/B                Am
And this crazy world we're living in
C                G/B                 Am
Could sure use a whole lot more like him


               G
* And they say never meet your heroes it'll only break your heart
         G                                   D
Once you peek behind that curtain they ain't who you think they are
      Em               G             C                G
Might be some words of wisdom but it ain't true every time
             G                     D               G 
Whoever said never meet your heroes ain't ever met mine


                G
There ain't no statue in his honor and the world don't know his name
        Em                                           C
But his wife can say he never raised his voice after 60 years and change
    G
His word was like a sunrise you could always count on it
              Em                                  C
Never said he saved lives in World War II but his buddies all say he did


               G
* And they say never meet your heroes 'cause it'll only break your heart
         G                                   D
Once you peek behind that curtain they ain't who you hope they are
      Em               G             C              
Might be some words of wisdom but it ain't true every time
             G                     D                Em   D
Whoever said never meet your heroes ain't never met mine
               C   G/B  Am
Ain't ever met mine


        G
He made hard times look easy and big problems seem so small
       Em                                    C  
Hell I coulds called him Superman but I just called him my grandpa


             G                                   C                G
And they say never meet your heroes 'cause it'll only break your heart
         G                                   D
Once you peek behind that curtain they ain't who you hope they are
            Em               G               C                G
There might be some words of wisdom but they ain't true every time
             G                     D                G
Whoever said never meet your heroes ain't never met mine
                        Em   C
No, they ain't ever met mine
