G  D  Em  C G  D


[Verse 1]

G                 D
Hey pops I ain’t been around
  Em
I know, I was just down at momma’s house
         C                                G                         D
And she told me I should swing on by and see ya ‘fore I roll outta here
G                          D
Yeah I, I think I met the one

    Em
But I, I don’t wanna jump the gun
            C                      G                             D
We’ve been out a few times and it feels like I’ve known her for years


[Chorus]

              G                    D
She’s from a small town just like you
             Em
She’s got a smile that could light up the room
C
She’s pretty as a hallelujah
Em                D
But don’t let it fool ya

               G
'Cause she’ll dance when she drinks
            D
And she’ll say what she thinks
          Em                       Am7
She makes me a better man like you did
                               G              C
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
                           G        D   Em  G D  C
'Cause I bet you would’ve loved her


[Verse 2]

G                     D
Hey pops that girl I told ya bout
     Em
Yeah we, we’ve been married a couple months now
        C                       G                          D
And we saved you a spot next to momma on that front church pew
                          G                 D
Yeah, I bet you would’ve loved our wedding band

                    Em
I bet you would’ve slid in and stole a dance
                    C
I bet you would’ve cried
                    G
I bet you would’ve laughed
                    D
I bet you would’ve loved it when she called you dad


[Chorus]

              G                    D
She’s from a small town just like you
             Em
She’s got a smile that could light up the room
C
She’s pretty as a hallelujah
Em                D
But don’t let it fool ya

               G
'Cause she’ll dance when she drinks
            D
And she’ll say what she thinks
          Em                       Am7
She makes me a better man like you did
                               G              C
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
                           G
'Cause I bet you would’ve loved her

[Solo]

[Bridge]

G                     D
Hey pops, you know I hate to cry
    Em
But I, I just let them rain that night
        C                         G                        D
That I held your grandbaby in my hands for the very first time


[Chorus]

                  G                    D
'Cause she’s got brown eyes just like you
            Em
Her momma’s glow that can light up the room
C
She’s pretty as a hallelujah
          Em                        D
And that smile that’ll do something to ya

        G
She’ll dance when I sing
          D
And she’s my everything
          Em                       Am7
She makes me a better man like you did
                               G              C
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other

                            G      D
'Cause I know you would’ve loved her
