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 
  A5        E5        F5              C5 
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
