[G] sitting in his [A] easy chair
[D] Watching a Sunday evening [G] race He [D] [G] tells me my [D] grandma's in the other room
[G] Guess he forgot we [A] laid her down [F#m] It'll be a year come [G] June

[G] [D]
[G] I try to get him [D] out like [A] we used [D] to But now [G] I load the truck and I [A] drive the boat
Cause there [D] ain't [A] much he can [G] do Cast him a line and [D] watched it as he [Bm] sank
Thinking how [G] he used to talk for [A] hours [D] Now he just stares [A] at the [G] bank

[A]
I [G] stop by that [D] house on Lesbeth Lake
[G] With a couple of [A] tickets to go [D] see a Sunday evening [G] race
As we watch those [D] cars fly around the [Bm] track I [A] [G] ask the Lord if [D] just one more time
He'd bring my old friend [G] back
Somewhere around lap 23 [A] That old man turns and smiles at me
