Rough Around The Edges

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Transposer:

Intro: > I knew a man a long long time But I never knew him at all Small in stature big at heart Oh he always stood tall From the time that he was born He had a style all his own In my mind he could do no wrong Misunderstood all along He worked hard all his life To get what he has today We would all be better off if we could Hear those words that he had to say He was a little rough around the edges And through it all we all knew he was A little rough around the edges ( ) Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you for you) ( ) He took me by the hand And said son what’s your plan I won’t stop you or stand in your way Someday you’ll be a man I looked at him with hungry eyes That only youth can know With all his wisdom and all his years He said I’ll teach you all that you need to know He was a little rough around the edges And through it all we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you ( ) Don’t stop now keep moving Don’t worry about where you’re going I’ll hear you You’ll feel me I’m there no matter where you go Solo: u>C/B u>C/B He was a little rough around the edges And through it all we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (2x) ( )

Cette chanson évoque le portrait d'un homme dont la grandeur d'âme transcende sa petite taille physique. Tout au long de sa vie, il a travaillé avec acharnement et a toujours été là pour les autres, même s'il était parfois mal compris. Le narrateur se remémore des moments marquants de leur relation, lorsque cet homme lui transmet sa sagesse et l’encourage à poursuivre ses rêves, tout en lui offrant une écoute bienveillante. Il est dépeint comme un personnage imparfait, mais rempli de bonté et de conseils précieux. Le contexte pourrait évoquer une relation personnelle forte, telle que celle entre un père et un fils, où l'amour et les leçons de vie sont transmis à travers des échanges simples mais significatifs. Cette dynamique familiale souligne l'importance des figures paternelles dans notre vie, même quand elles peuvent sembler un peu "rugueuses" de l'extérieur.
