Watching You — Rodney Atkins
Chords and lyrics for Watching You by Rodney Atkins (key of Dm).
Verse 1
If you play around with the D chord a little bit I found it adds to the
song.
Intro
D - G - D - G
Verse 1
[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 [C]toy ‘til his nuggets were [D]gone.
[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 [A]four letter word
It [Bm]started with [A]S and [G]I was concerned
So I [G]said, son, now [D/F#]where’d you learn to [Em]talk [D/F#]like [G]that[A]
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 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][A]everything you [G]do[A]
So I’ve been watching [D]you
D - G
Verse 2
[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
[Bm]Spoke to [A]God like he was [G]talkin’ to a friend
And I[G] said, son, now [D/F#]where’d you learn to [Em]pray[D/F#] like [G]that[A]
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 [D]fixin’ things and holding momma’s hand
Yeah, we’re [A]just alike, hey, ain’t we dad
I [G]want to [A]do [G/B][A]everything you [G]do;[A]
so I’ve been watching [D]you
Bridge
With [C]tears in my eyes I [G]wrapped him in a hug
Said, my [D]little bear is growin’ up
[C]And he said, but when I’m [G]big I’ll [Em]still know what to [A]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 [D]then I’ll be strong as superman
We’ll [A]be just alike, hey, won’t we dad
When [G]I can [A]do [G/B][A]everything you [G]do[A]
‘cause I’ve been watchin’ [D]you
Hey [G]yeah[D]
