The Old Man Chords by The Fureys

[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] The tears have all been [C] shed now, _ [D] we've said our last [G] goodbye
_ [D] His [E] soul's been blessed and [Am] he's laid to rest, [D]
[A] it's now I [D] feel alone _
[G] He was more than just [C] a father, _ [D] a teacher, my [G] best friend
_ [D] He [E] can still be heard in [Am] the tunes we shared when [A] we played them on [D] the lawn _
_ No, I [C] never will [G] forget him, for he [C] made me what I [G] am
Though he [C] may be gone, [G] memories linger [Em] on
And _ _ _ [G#] I miss him, my [G] old man, _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] as a boy
He'd take [C] me walking by [D] mountain, field and [G] stream
[D] _ [E] He'd show me things [Am] not known to kings, [D] [A] that secret between him and [D] me
_ [G] Like the colorless _ [C] of the pheasant _ [D] as he rises in [G] the dawn
[D] _ [E] And how to fish [Am] and make a wish _ [A] beside a holy [D] tree _ _ _ _
No, I [C] _ never [G] will forget [D] him, [C] for he made me what [G] I am
Though [C] he may be gone, [G] memories [D]
[Em] linger on
And _ _ _ I [G] miss him, the old man _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _

[Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] I thought he'd live [C] forever, _ [D] he seemed so big and [G] strong
[D] But [E] the minutes flying, [Am] the years rolled by, [A] for a father and [D] a son
_ [G] And suddenly, oh and [C] it happened, _ [D] there was so much left [G] unsaid
[D] _ [E] No second chance [Am] to turn it tight, [A] for everything [D] he's done
_ _ _ _ No, I [C] _ never will [G] forget him, [C] for he made me what [G] I am
[C] Though he may be gone, [G] memories [D] linger [Em] on
And _ _ _ [G] I miss him, the old man
_ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Thank you, good night.
