[C]
New strings, let's see how they [G] do.
[F]
[G] [C] My old man was not a mover or a shaker, just [F] a dreamer, [G] I'm all done like him.
[C] He used to talk a lot about the old days, mister, when [F] the times [G] was tough and the money was thin.
[C] Used to go fishing [F] about once [G] a year, laugh [C] himself silly over a couple of beers, [F] tell
an [C] old story to a woman here, and [D] then he'd turn [G] right around and tell it again.
[C] My [F] old man, [G] talking about my [C] old man, [F] he was there at the start with the [C] will and [D] heart,
he was there when the [G] world began.
[C] My [F] old man, [G] my [C] old man, [F] I'm just [G] sitting here thinking about [C] my old man.
My old man was a daddy till [F] I got too cold to call [G] him that anymore, [C] and he took my mother
to the Grange Hall [F] dance and wants to [G] cross the floor.
[C] Missed the [F] town on Friday [G] night, used to chew [C] tobacco when he got [F] uptight, sitting, [C] spitting
in the vacant [Dm] lot in the car in [G] front of the grocery [C] store.
[G] My [F] old man, [G] talking about my [C] old [F] man, he was there at the start with [C] the will and [Dm] heart,
he was there when [G] the world began.
Help me [C] out here.
[F] My old man, [G] my [C] old man, [F] I'm just [G] sitting here thinking about [C] my old man.
My old man was a dragon in the [F] pants, man, when he got [G] home from the mill, [C] with the chores
and the [Em] weeds and the kids to [F] feed, you know he never had a [G] minute to kill.
[C] But he always had the [F] fleas in his ovary, [G] and he smelled a lot [C] better when he worked
[F] outside, worked right [Em] up till the day he [Dm] died, and the [G] Bethel Lords got him working [C] still.
So my [F] old man, [G] talking about my [C] old man, [F] he was there at the [Em] start with the will and
[D] heart, he was there when the [G] world began.
My [C] old man, [G] my [C] old man, [F] I'm just sitting [G] here thinking about my [C] old man.
[F] I'm just sitting [G] here thinking about my [Am] old man.
[F] I'm [C] just sitting [G] here thinking about [C] my old man. Thank you.
