Intro: D5 G5 D5 G5 D5 On the day that school let out G5 D5 My sister Anne and me A5 B5 Walked the fields behind our house G5 To find our Christmas tree D5 She was six years older G5 D5 So she led the way A5 B5 G5 A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 As we walked out to find the tree we'd have on Christmas day. D5 G5 D5 Now weeks of late November rain had brought the creek to flood A5 B5 As we walked out across the field G5 Our boots sunk in the mud D5 G5 D5 I soon realized that I could step inside her prints so grand A5 B5 G5 A5 Until it seemed like I was walking across the driest land G5 D5 I was walking in your foot prints A5 D5 G5 D5 Counting every step, measuring every move you made, G5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5 A5 Every word you said, and I was dancing in your shadow, doing what you do. G5 D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 I was learning how to be like me by being just like you. D5 Mom could hit a baseball G5 D5 Lee could fly a kite, A5 B5 G5 Dad knew every constellation in the sky at night D5 G5 D5 And Ann could sing about every song that Elvis ever sung A5 B5 G5 A5 And it wasn't long before it seemed like I knew every one. G5 D5 I was walking in your foot prints A5 D5 G5 D5 Counting every step, measuring every move you made, G5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5 A5 Every word you said, and I was dancing in your shadow, doing what you do. G5 D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 I was learning how to be like me by being just like you. G5 D5 I was watching how you walked and talked. G5 D5 How you held you head. G5 D5 Every joke that made you laugh. G5 A5 Every book you read. G5 D5 G5 D5 And how you always did your best when no one seemed to care, E5 D5 How you did you did your duty, G5 A5 How you did your share. D5 Now as I grow older G5 D5 A5 B5 It's so easy to forget all the ones who follow after me G5 I can't imagine yet D5 Who learn what I remember, G5 D5 Who do what I have done, A5 B5 Every step I travel now G5 A5 I walk for more than one. G5 D5 I'm walking in your foot prints A5 D5 G5 D5 Counting every step, measuring every move you made, G5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5 A5 Every word you said, and I was dancing in your shadow, doing what you do. G5 D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5 I was learning how to be like me by being just like you.
