Intro: D5  D5  G5 A5 (x2) 

D5                               G5                 A5 
I learned how to write it, when I first started school 
      D5            D5                G5                A5 - Bbaug - B5 
Some bully didn't like it, he said it didn't sound too cool 
B5           A5                  G5                   A5 
So I had to hit him , and all I said when the blood came 
         G5        D5 E5 A5 - A5 
It's my last name 
         D5                                   G5              A5 
Grandpa took it off to Europe, to fight the Germans in the war 
    D5                D5         G5              A5 - Bbaug - B5 
It came back on some dog tags, nobody wears no more 
B5                 A5                  G5                 D5 
It's written on a headstone, in the field where he was slain 
        E5      D5 E5 A5 
It's my last name 
 
Chorus: 
        G5                      A5                D5 
Passed down from generations, too far back to trace 
       G5            D5           E5           A5  
I can see all my relations, when I look into my face 
Bbaug - B5                 A5                G5              D5 
      May never make it famous, but I'll never bring it shame 
        E5       D5 E5 A5 - A5 
It's my last name 
 

D5                          G5           A5 
Daddy always told me, far back as I recall 
D5                   D5       G5                A5 - Bbaug - B5 
Son you're part of something, you represent us all 
B5                  A5          G5           D5 
So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came 
        E5       D5 E5 A5 - A5 
It's my last name 
 
Chorus 
 

E5 D5 E5 A5 - A5 
 
D5                                       G5               A5 
So darlin if you're wonderin, why I've got you here tonight 
D5                D5            G5             A5 - Bbaug - B5 
I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife 
B5                 A5                       G5               D5 
Ain't got much to give you, but what I've got means everything 
        E5       D5 E5 A5          G5      D5 E5 A5 
It's my last name            Oh it's my last name 
D5                               G5                 A5     D5 
I learned how to write it, when I first started school
