'The Night I Called The Old Man Out' by Brooks Garth - Guitar Tutorial

            F#, 
The dining room fell silent  
E
I can't believe what I just said  
F#m
I just told my dad he's full of it  
C#7
And, I watched his face turn red  
F#m
Well, then I should've said I'm sorry  
D
But, I matched him shout for shout  
Bm
I can still hear that screen door slammin'  
C#7  F#m
The night I called him out  
  
E/G#
He said  
A  E
"Son, it's gonna hurt me  
D  F#m
More than it hurts you"  
Bm  E  C#7
Somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts  
A  E
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers  
D  F#m
Crawl back in the house  
D  E  F#m
Each time they called the old man out  
  
F#m
Fist to fist and eye to eye  
E
Standin' toe to toe  
F#m
He would've let me walk away  
C#7
But, I would not let it go  
F#m
Years of my frustration  
D
Had lead me to this night  
Bm  C#7
Now, he'll pay for all the times  
F#m
That he's been right  
  
E/G#
He said  
A  E
"Son, it's gonna hurt me  
D  F#m
More than it hurts you"  
Bm  E  C#7
Somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts  
A  E
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers  
D  F#m
Crawl back in the house  
D  E  F#m
Each time they called the old man out  
  
F#m
It was over in a minute  
E
That's when I realized  
F#m
The blood came from my mouth and nose  
C#7
But, the tears came from his eyes  
F#m
And in memory of that fateful night  
D
I knew the greatest pain was his  
Bm
And I just pray someday  
C#7  F#m
I'm half the man he is  
  
E/G#
He said  
A  E
"Son, it's gonna hurt me  
D  F#m
More than it hurts you"  
Bm  E  C#7
Somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts  
A  E
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers  
D  F#m
Crawl back in the house  
D  E  F#m
Each time they called the old man out  
E/G#
He said  
A  E
"Son, it's gonna hurt me  
D  F#m
More than it hurts you"  
Bm  E  C#7
Somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts  
A  E
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers  
D  F#m
Crawl back in the house  
D  E  F#m
