Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I m[D]iss[A] my[D] old man tonight
And I wish he was [Em]here with [D]me
With his [G]corny jokes and his cheap cigars
He could look you in the eye an[D]d sell you
a car
That's [A]not an [Am]easy [Em]thing to [D]do
But no one ever [G]knew a more charming creature
on [D]this earth than my [Em]old [D]man.
He was a pilot [Em]in the big war
[D]In the
U .S.
[Em]Army
Air
[A]Corps
[D]In a
[G]C -47 with a heavy load
Full of combat cargo for the
Burma
[D]Road
And [A]af ter they [Em]dropped the bom[D]b,
he came home and married
Mo[G]m.
And not long after that,
[D]he was my old[Em] man.[A][D]
And oh, the fight[A]s we had
[D]When my brother and I got[Em] him mad[D]
He'd get [G]all boiled up and
he'd start to shout
And I knew what was coming,
so [D]I tuned him
out an[Em]d now th[A]e old man's go[D]ne and I give
all I [G]own to hear what he said when I wasn't
[D]listening to my old[A] man[Em].[D]
I miss the old [Em]man t[D]onight.
I can almost [Em]see his f[D]ace.
[G]He was always trying to watch his weight,
and his [D]heart only made it to fifty [Em]-eight.[A][Em]
And for the first time [A]since he [D]died,
Late last night I [G]cried,
I wondered when I was [D]gonna do that
For my [A]old [D]man.
