Watching You Rodney Atkins
****************************************************************************
I think this is a really fun song and have been looking for the tab everywhere, finally
down and figured it out myself. It may need some tweeking but it is very very close.
it works out for everyone.
****************************************************************************
Played in standard tuning and you will have to listen to it to get the struming down.
if you play around with the D chord a little bit I found it adds to the song.

INTRO:
[D] [-] [G] [-] [D] [-] [D]
VERSE I:
[D]Drivinâ?? through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
[Bb]Knowinâ?? that he couldnâ??t have t[C]he toy â??til his nuggets w[D]ere gone.
[D]A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
His [Bb]fries went a flyinâ??, and hi[C]s orange drink covered hi[D]s lap
Well, then my [G]4 year old said a f[A]our letter word
It s[G/B]tarted with [A]S and [G]I was concerned
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#]
So I sai[A]d, son, now whereâ??d you learn to talk like that
CHORUS:
He said, Iâ??ve been[D] watching you, dad ainâ??t that cool
Iâ??m you[A]r buckaroo, I want to be like you
And eat [G]all my food and grow as tall as [A]you are
We got [D]cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, weâ??r[A]e just alike, hey, ainâ??t we dad
I [G]want to [A]do [G/B]everyt[A]hing you [G]do[A]
So Iâ??ve been watchin[D]g you
[D] [-] [G]
VERSE II:
[D]We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
[Bb]Said, lord, please help me [C]help my stupid [D]self
[D]Just this side of bedtime later that night
Turninâ?? on my sonâ??s Scooby-doo nightlight
He [Bb]crawled out of bed and he [C]got down on his [D]knees
He closed [G]his little eyes, folded [A]his little hands
S[G/B]poke to g[A]od like he was [G]talkinâ?? to a friend
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#]
And I sa[A]id, son, now whereâ??d you learn to pray like that
CHORUS:
He said, Iâ??ve bee[D]n watching you, dad ainâ??t that cool
Iâ??m you[A]r buckaroo; I want to be like you
And eat [G]all my food and grow as tall as [A]you are
We like f[D]ixinâ?? things and holding mommaâ??s hand
Yeah, weâ??r[A]e just alike, hey, ainâ??t we dad
I w[G]ant to [A]do e[G/B]veryth[A]ing you [G]do;[A]
so Iâ??ve been watchin[D]g you
With [G]tears in my eyes I w[A]rapped him in a hug
Said, my l[G/B]ittle b[A]ear is g[G]rowinâ?? up
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#]
A[G]nd he said[A], but when Iâ??m big Iâ??ll still know what to do
CHORUS:
â??cause Iâ??ve b[D]een watching you, dad ainâ??t that cool
Iâ??m you[A]r buckarooâ?? I want to be like you
And eat [G]all my food and grow as tall as [A]you are
By t[D]hen Iâ??ll be strong as superman
Weâ??ll[A] be just alike, hey, wonâ??t we dad
When [G]I can [A]do [G/B]everyt[A]hing you [G]do[A]
â??cause Iâ??ve been watchin[D]â?? you
