[E]
Old man moon, shining in my rear view, [A] leaving [B] that Tennessee [E] town.
[A] You're all I [B] have to talk to, [E] don't know where my [C#m] dog ran off to, [F#] but he's gone.
And has been [B] for a while [A] now, [G#m] where [E] I'm bound.
Well, I haven't figured it out, I'm sure [A] I'll find my [B] usual [E] wrong way.
[A] It costs to leave, [B] ain't cheap, I [E] don't need no [C#m] easy sleep.
[F#] Even if I did, I lost my [B] job, so I don't got [A] much pain.
[B] But it's okay, cause [A] anymore would [B] burn a hole [E] in my pocket.
Lord, I [A] can't afford to [B] be a poor [E] boy, bro.
Besides, this [A] pair of jeans [B] is already [E] pretty tearing at [C#m] the seams.
[F#] The last thing that I need [B] is a pants leg full of [A] smoke.
I'm gonna ride [B] until my ride [E] quits riding.
Then I'm [A] gonna walk [B] until my boots [E] walk off.
Yes sir, I'll [A] be a sight when [B] I get where [E] they're looking [C#m] mean and light.
[F#] But tonight I'm feeling free and [B] friendly, barely scraping change [E] waving goodbye.
Say old man moon, I hear that you get blue too.
It [A] must be a lonesome [B] way up [E] in the sky.
[A] The stars seem [B] mighty proud, if I were you I'd [C#m] hate a cloud.
[F#] All they ever do is hang [B] around and cry.
[A] [B] Yes, [E] it ain't a shame to be rolling like a slow train.
[A] Or going [B] like only [E] you do.
I'll tell you [A] what, I'll keep [B] right on track.
If [E] you keep shining [C#m] bright like that, [F#] I bet before we know it,
[B] this journey will [A] be through.
[B] The hard times too, [A] man.
Anymore would [B] burn a hole [E] in my pocket.
Lord, I can't afford to [B] be a poor [E] boy, bro.
Besides, this [A] pair of jeans [B] is already [E] pretty tearing [C#m] at the seams.

But [F#] tonight I'm feeling free and friendly, [B] barely scraping change, waving [E] goodbye.
Waving goodbye.
Waving goodbye.
