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]Drivin? through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
[Bb]Knowin? that he couldn?t have the t[C]oy ?til his nuggets were go[D]ne.
[D]A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
His [Bb]fries went a flyin?, and his [C]orange drink covered his [D]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 where?d you learn to talk like that
CHORUS:
He said, I?ve been w[D]atching you, dad ain?t that cool
I?m your [A]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, we?re [A]just alike, hey, ain?t we dad
I [G]want to [A]do [G/B]everyt[A]hing you [G]do[A]
So I?ve been watching [D]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
Turnin? on my son?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]talkin? to a friend
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#]
And I sa[A]id, son, now where?d you learn to pray like that
CHORUS:
He said, I?ve been [D]watching you, dad ain?t that cool
I?m your [A]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]ixin? things and holding momma?s hand
Yeah, we?re [A]just alike, hey, ain?t we dad
I w[G]ant to [A]do e[G/B]veryth[A]ing you [G]do;[A]
so I?ve been watching [D]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]rowin? up
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#]
A[G]nd he said[A], but when I?m big I?ll still know what to do
CHORUS:
?cause I?ve been [D]watching you, dad ain?t that cool
I?m your [A]buckaroo? I want to be like you
And eat [G]all my food and grow as tall as [A]you are
By t[D]hen I?ll be strong as superman
We?ll b[A]e just alike, hey, won?t we dad
When [G]I can [A]do [G/B]everyt[A]hing you [G]do[A]
?cause I?ve been watchin? yo[D]u
