[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][Asus4][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]He's always up and
out of bed before [G]the morning comes
He [A]mumbles an[Asus4]d he grum[A]bles
about all that must [D]be done.
There's 80 years of memories
that [G]rattle in his head,
Whis[A]key an[Asus4]d cigar s[A] that he
keeps stashed beside his [D]bed.
He be[G]lieves the world
went straight to hell
When
[D]Brooklyn lost the
Dodgers
Some [Em]say that he's a lost [D]his mind
Some [G]call him an old [Asus4]codger
[A]Oh, but [Asus4]he's just
[G]Oh, folks
[A]Oh, [D]folks
[A]Blessing is the child of [D]yesterday
[G]Love those [D]old folks,
cause we're [A]the little luck in the
[F#]Lord to see us [Bm]through.[E]
One [A]day we will be old folks [D]too.[G]
[A]ś use[D]d to bake the sweetest pies
ś I [G]swear I ever ate
ś I'd [A]steal the batter from the bowl
ś
Because I could never wait
[D]But now her hands are bent and sore, arthrit[G]is rages wild,
but [A]you would never know she hurts
the way she always [D]smiles.
She be[G]lieves the world is good and kind,
but [D]would love warmer weather.
And [Em]her grandkids are per[D]fect,
though some[G]times they forget [Asus4]her.
[A]Oh, because she's old[G], folks.
She's [D]old, folks.
[A]Blessed is the child of yester[D]day.
Yeah.
[G]Love those old[A] fol[D]ks
Cause with a [A]little luck
And the
[F#]Lord to see [Bsus4]us through
[E]One day[A] we will be
Old folks too
[D]ś[G]
[D]With a [A]little luck and the
[F#]Lord to see us [Bm]through
[E]ś
One [A]day we will be [Asus4]old folks[A] too
[D]ś[G][Em]
You
