_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I miss my old man _ tonight, _ _ _ _ _ and I wish he [F#m] was here with [E] me. _ _ _
_ _ _ With his corny [A]
jokes _ and his cheap _
[E] cigars, _ _ he could look [A]
you in [C#] the eye _ [E] and sell you a car. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's [Bm] not an [F#] easy thing to [E]
do, _ _ _ _ _ _ but no _ one _ ever _ knew _ _ _ _ [A] a more charming _ creature _
_ [E] _ on this
earth _ _ than my _ _ [F#m]
old _ _ [E] man. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He was a pilot _ _ [F#]
in the big [E] war, _ _ _ _ _ _ in the U.S. [F#m] _ [G#m] Army Air [E] Corps, _ _ _ _ _ [A] in a C _ -47 _ _ with a heavy load,
_ _ full of combat _ cargo _ [E] for the Burma _ Road.
_ And [B] after _ they dropped _ [E]
the bomb, _ _ _ _ he came home and married _ [A] _ _ Mom. _ _ _
And not _ [E] long after _ that, _ _ _ _ _ he was my _ _ [B]
old _ [E] _ man. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] And oh, the [F#m] fights _ we [E] had, _ _ _ _ when my brother and I got him _ mad. _
_ _ He'd get [A] all boiled up, _ _ [Am] and he'd start [A] to shout, _ _ _ and I knew what was coming, _ _ so I tuned [E] him out. _ _ _
[B] And now the old [E] man's gone, _ _ _ _ _ and _ I'd give all [A] I _ _ own to _ hear what he said _ when I [E] wasn't
listening _ to _ my _ _ _
[Bm] old [E] man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I miss the [F#m] old _ man [E] tonight, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can _ [F#]
almost see [E] his face. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ He was always _ trying to [Bm] watch [A] his weight, _ and [E] his heart _ [C#m] only [E] made it to _ _ 58.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] And for the [Bm] first time _ _ [G#m] since he _ [E] died, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ late last night I [A] cried. _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] I wondered [A] _ [E] when [C#m] I was [E] gonna do that.
