My Old Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I m[D]is[G][D][A][D]
[A]s the old m[D]an tonight,
I wish he was here with me
With his [G]corny jokes and his cheap cigar
He could look you in the eye
and sell [A]you a car
That's not an easy thing to [D]do,
but no one ever [G]knew
A finer man in [D]all this land
[G]than [D]my [A]old [D]man
He [A]never talked about his [D]war in France
when he was eighteen
The day [G]they put him in the trench
was a day he learned sense
And he never again used vi[A]olence
He got out of [D]uniform,
came home and married [G]mum
And not so very [Bm]long af[D]ter
that [G]he was [D]my [A]old [D]man
I re[A]member the fights we [D]had,
my sisters and I got him mad
He'd get [G]all boiled up,
he'd sometimes shout,
we knew what was coming
so we [A]tuned him out
Now the old man's [Bm]gone,
[D]I'd give all I [G]own
To know what he said
when [D]I wasn't listen[G]ing to [D]my [A]old
[Bm]man[A][D][G][D][G][D]
[A][D]
I mis[A]s the old man tonight
[D]I can almost see his face
He [G]was always trying to watch his weight
But his heart only made it to fifty [A]-eight
For the first time since he [D]died
Late last night, I [G]cried
I wondered when I was going to do that
for [D]my [A]world and [D]I
