My Last Name - Dierks Bentley

Intro: D  D/F#  G  A (x2)

D                               G                 A
I learned how to write it, when I first started school
      D            D/F#                G                A-Bbaug-Bm
Some bully didn't like it, he said it didn't sound too cool
Bm           A                  G                   A
So I had to hit him, and all I said when the blood came
         G        D/F# Em7 Asus4-A
It's my last name

         D                                   G              A
Grandpa took it off to Europe, to fight the Germans in the war
    D                D/F#         G              A-Bbaug-Bm
It came back on some dog tags, nobody wears no more
Bm                 A                  G                 D/A
It's written on a headstone, in the field where he was slain
        Em7      D/F# Em7 Asus4
It's my last name


Chorus:
        G                      A                D
Passed down from generations, too far back to trace
       G            D/F#           Em7           A 
I can see all my relations, when I look into my face
Bbaug-Bm                 A                G              D/A
      May never make it famous, but I'll never bring it shame
        Em7       D/F# Em7 Asus4-A
It's my last name


D                          G           A
Daddy always told me, far back as I recall
D                   D/F#       G                A-Bbaug-Bm
Son you're part of something, you represent us all
Bm                  A          G           D/F#
So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came
        Em7       D/F# Em7 Asus4-A
It's my last name


CHORUS


Em7 D/F# Em7 Asus4-A

D                                       G               A
So darlin if you're wonderin, why I've got you here tonight
D                D/F#            G             A-Bbaug-Bm
I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife
Bm                 A                       G               D/A
Ain't got much to give you, but what I've got means everything
        Em7       D/F# Em7 Asus4          G      D/F# Em7 Asus4
It's my last name            Oh it's my last name

D                               G                 A     D
I learned how to write it, when I first started school
