[G]
[Am][G][Em][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I miss
my old [D]man [G]tonight
And I wish he was here [D]with me[G]
[C]With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars
He could look you in the [G]eye, and
sell you a [D]car
That’s not [G]an easy thing to do
but no one ever [C]knew
A more charming [G]creature on this earth
Than my [Am]old [D]man[G]

[Verse 2]
He was [G]a pilot [Am]in the big wa[G]r
In the US Army Air Corp
[C]In a C- 47, with a heavy load
Carrying combat cargo
[Am]o’er[G] Burma Road
[D]And after they dropped the[G] bomb
he came home and married mom
[C]And not too[Am] long aft[G]er that
He was my [Am]old [G]man

[Verse 3]
[G]An [D]d[Am][G][Am][G][C][G]
[D][G][C][G][C][G][D]
[Am]oh t[G]he fights that w[Am]e had[G]
When my brother and me
[D]got him [G]mad
[C]He’d get all boiled up,
[Am]and star[C]t to shout
We knew what was coming,
[Am]so we tu[G]ned him out
And [D]now the old man [G]is gone
and I’d give all I own
[C]Just to hear what he said,
[G]when I wasn’t listing
To my [D]old man
[G]

[Verse 4]
I miss my old [D]man [G]tonight
I can [D]almost see his [G]face
[C]He was always trying to watch his weight
His heart only made [Bm]it t[D]o fi[G]fty- eight
[D]For the first time since he [G]died,
late last night I [C]cried
I was wondering [Am]when
[G]I was gonna go and do that
For my [D]old man
