[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
   A                        Asus2
He taught me how to start a fire,
Dsus2/A
How to change the gears,
    A                E
How not to make them grind.
   D                  
He taught me how to order 
A
Chinese food,
                   E
And ask them for a knife and fork,
                    D
When you don’t know how 

the chopsticks work.
 
 
[Verse 2]
   A                        Esus4  E
He taught me how to crack a joke,
            D
And why you never pull his finger,
       A          E
How to be a decent bloke.
   D                      
He taught me how to steal 
  A
a toddler’s nose,
                   E
And when to put it back again,
            A         D
That’s what makes the grizzles go.
 

 
[Chorus 1]
   D/F#
He taught me not to cry,
   Esus4           E   A
He taught me to be gentle,
    D/F#
And how to change the subject,
        A        E     F#m
When it gets too sentimental,
D             Esus4  E
All about the way it works and,
A        E        F#m
How it’s meant to be,
  D                 Dsus2
Humanity and humour,
                     A
Is what he taught to me.
 
 
[Verse 3]
   A                    
He taught me to stand for 
        Esus4 E
what is true,
             D
He taught me car rides 

full of limericks,
    A                E
And all of them were rude.
   D                     
He taught me how to keep 
  A/C#
a level head,
                   Esus4   E
And how to hug someone you love,
                 D
After there’s an argument.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
             F#m             A
He taught me how to work too hard,
    Esus4                E      A
And how to climb through fences,
D                      E
How to be a tight arse,
A      E      F#m      E
How to be too generous,
D                Esus4 E  
How to light the BBQ     
    A   E       F#m
and overcook the meat,
  D           Dsus2
Integrity and fairness,
                     A
Is what he taught to me.
 
 
[Interlude]
A   D6sus2/B  D  A
 
 
[Verse 4]
   A*                       E*
He taught me in those final days,
       D*
How to give a man his dignity,
         A*           E*
When his body wastes away.
   D                         A
He taught me to plaster on a smile,
               E
Talk about the footy,
                            D
While you watch your father die.
 
 
[Chorus 3]
             F#m                A
He taught me when to let things go,
    Esus4                E      A
And when to fight things bravely,
D                    E
How to hide your face,
     A         E        F#m
When you can’t keep the pain in,
D                            Esus4  E
He’d probably say to walk it off,
A             E          F#m
That’s what a man should do,
    D
So, I’m learning to be tough,
Dsus2
Getting through this stuff,
Dsus2*
Learning I’m enough.
 
 
[Outro]
N.C.
‘Cause it’s what he taught me.
