[Intro]
[G] [Am7] [C] [G] [G] [Am7] [C] [G]
[Verse 1]
I put a [G]fishing rod [Am7]by your bed
[C]Right next to a [G]bible
I leaned a [G]guitar in the [Am7]corner of your room
With some [C]Milsap on [G]vinyl
I figured the[G] best thing I could [Am7]do was p[C]ut a thing or t[G]wo
And that it [G]wouldn't hurt to [Am7]have in your w[C]ay, on your p[G]ath
[Chorus]
Hoping you might [G]pick it up one [Am7]day
And you might [C]learn a couple pretty cool [G]things
That I [G]love to do[Am7]
Then you can [C]take it and spin it, and [G]fit it to you
I don't [G]know what you gonna [Am7]be
But I hope you [C]smile when you think of [G]me
Cause I helped [G]make you
But I didn't [Am7]ever try to make you p[C]ick it up
You just [G]pick it up, [Am7]pick it up[C][G]
[Verse 2]
[G]Early to rise, [Am7]headin' to work
[C]Open the door for a [G]stranger
[G]Yes sir, yes Mama, [Am7]red dirt on my hands
[C]Showing you the best way I can
[Chorus]
Hoping you might [G]pick it up one [Am7]day
And you might [C]learn a couple pretty cool [G]things
That I [G]love to do[Am7]
Then you can [C]take it and spin it, and [G]fit it to you
I don't [G]know what you gonna [Am7]be
But I hope you [C]smile when you think of [G]me
Cause I helped [G]make you
But I didn't [Am7]ever try to make you p[C]ick it up
You just pick it up
[Solo]
[G] [Am7] [C] [G] [G] [Am7] [C] [G]
[Bridge]
[G]Dancing and kissing your [Am7]Mama in the kitchen
[C]Treatin' her like a princess
[Chorus]
Hoping you might [G]pick it up one [Am7]day
And you might [C]learn a couple pretty cool [G]things
That I [G]love to do[Am7]
Then you can [C]take it and spin it, and [G]fit it to you
