[Dm] [A]
[E] [E]
[A] I used to run in a young man's [E] boots with a young man's heart and a young man's [F#] roots
But now I stand where a young man [B] stood before
[Bm] [B] [D]
I don't [A] run like I used to
[E] This old man don't [A] run no more
You used to talk and I used to not
I [E] don't listen but I hear a lot
[F#] Don't believe for a second that my key won't [Bm] fit your door
I [D] [A] don't want you like I used to
[E] This old man [A] wants you more
[F#m] Hey, [E] hi-dee-ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't [D] go
Where the river runs [A] still and the water don't [C#] flow
Heaven couldn't [F#m] stop me then
Hey, [E] hi-dee-hi
Good Lord [F#m] willing and the creek don't [A] rise
And life goes by like a firefly
[E] When the devil sits [A] with a grin
I
[A] [D]
[Dm]
[A] [E]
[A] used to sing with a young man's [E] voice
And a young man's heart and a young man's choice
[F#] I hope my song is what you're [Bm] longing for
I [A] don't sing like [A] I used to
[E] Sometimes [A] less is more
[F#m]
Hey, [E] hi-dee-ho
I used to [F#m] go where the devil wouldn't [D] go
Where the river runs [A] still and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't [F#m] stop me then
[E] Hey, hi-dee-hi
Good Lord [F#m] willing and the creek don't [A] rise
And life goes by like a firefly
[E] When the devil sits [A] with a grin
Well,
[B] [E]
[D] [D] [Dm]
[A]
this crazy life is all we [E] got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's [F#] knot
In the end, that's what this [Bm] story shows
I [D]
don't [A] love you like I used to
[E] [F] This old man [F#m] loves you more
[D] I don't [A] love you like I used to
[E]
This old man [Dm] loves you more
[A]
