Son Of A Fireman Chords by Ben Burgess

[Intro]

Em
 
 
[Verse]

Em                  Am
I grew up, son of a fireman
         C              G
Paintin' houses, mowin' lawns
      Em           Am
All I wanted was a better life
            C
For him and momma
             G
Hell, for us all
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

            Am
Yeah, I was grindin'
  C                  G
I moved to California
        D               Em
Lookin' for that pot of gold
        Am
Then to Nashville
C
Me and a buddy
G       D                 Em
Wrote a song you probably know
       Am                   
By the time that I made it, 
       D
he was gone
 
 
[Chorus]

            C                         
Now I could buy him 
                  G
that house by the river
               Am                               
Where he could wake up 
                         Em
every morning and cast a line
        C                                
I could back that brand 
                 G
new Caddy in his driveway
        Am                            
But the only thing 
                   B7
I guess I couldn't buy
         Em
Was more time
 
 
[Verse]

Em                        
I guess denial ain't just 
              Am
some river in Egypt
      C                    G       D
I was swimmin' in it the whole time
          Em                Am
If I knеw then I would have been
        C          G
Back in Dallas by his side
          Am                 D
But I was grindin' thе whole time
 
 
[Chorus]

           C                         
So I could buy him 
                  G
that house by the river
               Am                               
Where he could wake up 
                         Em
every morning and cast a line
        C                                
I could back that brand 
                 G
new Caddy in his driveway
        Am                            
But the only thing 
                   B7
I guess I couldn't buy
         Am
Was more time
 
 
[Solo]

Am   Em   Am   Em
C   G   Am   B7
 
 
[Outro]

       Em           Am
I grew up, son of a fireman
         C              G
Paintin' houses, mowin' lawns
