Intro:C5 F5 G5
C5 F5
My mama got married to someone I barely knew
G5 F5 G5
They had me and then they had my sister too
C5 F5
I was too young to understand why he left
A5 G5
But how it broke Mama's heart, I'll never forget
F5 G5 D5
It was three years before she met somebody new
F5 C5 F5 G5
And though I didn't have much to compare him to
Chorus:
C5 F5 C5
He was the best man, my mama ever loved
F5 C5 F5 G5
Not the kind that walks away, but the kind that don't give up

Devoted and true, someone to look up to
F5 C5 G5
Even a boy of eight could understand
Intro
He was the best man
C5 F5
He called me his son and I called him my dad
G5 C5 F5
He was the like no friend I had ever had
C5 F5
He taught me how to drive a nail and how to build a go-cart
A5 G5
And how to love a women with all of my heart
F5 G5 D5
One night we watched him get down on one knee
F5 C5 F5 G5
And ask mama to be his wife, then he asked me
C5 F5 C5
To be the best man, and I stood by his side
F5 C5 F5 G5
As he lifted the veil of that beautiful bride
A5 E5 F5 C5
He said I do, then she did too
F5 C5 G5
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
