Intro:C F G

C                      F
My mama got married to someone I barely knew
G                         F             G
They had me and then they had my sister too
C                       F
I was too young to understand why he left
    Am                              G
But how it broke Mama's heart, I'll never forget

F                             G            D
It was three years before she met somebody new
F                   C               F        G
And though I didn't have much to compare him to

Chorus:
           C            F         C
He was the best man, my mama ever loved
F                 C                   F                    G
Not the kind that walks away, but the kind that don't give up
  Am        Em        F              C
Devoted and true, someone to look up to
F             C                G
Even a boy of eight could understand
           Intro
He was the best man

C                        F
He called me his son and I called him my dad
G                         C          F
He was the like no friend I had ever had
C                                           F
He taught me how to drive a nail and how to build a go-cart
Am                           G
And how to love a women with all of my heart

F                        G               D
One night we watched him get down on one knee
F               C                 F        G
And ask mama to be his wife, then he asked me

          C               F            C
To be the best man, and I stood by his side
      F          C            F         G
As he lifted the veil of that beautiful bride
Am        Em  F            C
He said I do, then she did too
        F                    C             G
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
         Solo Chords
With the best man

**The Chords for the solo are: A F G (x2)**

Am        Em      F            C
He said I do, and then she did too
        F                    C             G
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
         Intro
With the best man
