[G] [E] [D] [Ab]
[D] He said his hip talks to him when he's ready to rain
[A] He had a little nip and he's feeling no [Bm] pain
When he gets like [D] this, he [G] feels like talking
[D] He said he took some shrapnel at the bay of pigs
[A] And he lost two fingers on a Gulf War rig
[Bm]
Oh, you gotta [A] watch it, [D] it'll take off walking
[G] Some [A]
folks say he lost [Bm] his mind, [G]
but he's just running [A] out of time
[G] He said this old [A] bag of bones ain't really [D] me
There's [G] a lot more [A] standing here than what [D] you see
[G] He said my back is bending [A] low, [Bm] but my
[D] spirit's [E] flying free
[G] Oh, and this old [A] bag of bones ain't really [D] me

He [D] said I live each day like it's my last
[A] Time won't keep it go so fast
[Bm] You better do [A] the best that you [G] can do
[D] He said life's a tune you whistle in the dark
[A] When you get it right, you get a little spark
[Bm] The sun comes [A] up and it all [G] dawns on you
He said this old bag [A] of bones ain't [D] really me
[G] There's a lot more standing [A] here than what you [D]
see
He [G] said my back is bending [A] low, [Bm] but my spirit's [E] flying free
Oh, and [G]
this old [A] bag of bones ain't [D] really me
My [B] [G]
back is bending [A] low, but [Bm] my [E] spirit's flying free
Oh, [G] and this old [A] bag of bones ain't really [D] me
[G]
Now, this old [A] bag of bones ain't [D] really me
