[G]
I saw him last Friday [C] on the big [G] concert stage
The [C] warm [G] amber lights did a lot for [C] his age
I [G] touched the backstage pass, [C] wore like [G] a prize
I wanted a good look [D] at the old [G] soldier's eyes
With a towel across his shoulders [C] to soak up [G] the sweat
He [C]
hadn't [G] cooled down from his [C] final set
He [G] needed to rest, [C] but the crowd wouldn't
[G] give
And I saw how he's paid [C] for [D] the life that [G] he's lived
[C] You can tell an old soldier by [G] the look in his eyes
[D] He sings so many battles, [G] when he sings he [C] cries
So many good times, [G] so many goodbyes
You can tell an old soldier by [D] the look in [G] his eyes
This old man introduced us, [C] my manager [G] first
[C] And I was [G] so nervous, and I [C] in a thirst
He [G]
took one look at [C] me, and gave me his [G] beer
He said I like your record, [D] the best to [G] you dear
[C] You can tell an old soldier [G] by the look in his [D] eyes
He sings so many battles, [G] when he sings he [Dm]
[G] cries
[C] So many good times, so [G] many goodbyes
You can tell an old soldier [Em] [D] by the look in [G] his eyes
You [C] can tell an old soldier [G] by the look in his eyes
[D] He sings so many battles, [G] when he sings he cries
I saw him last Friday [C] on the big [G] concert stage
