[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I've [Am]heard all the stories
of you [C]back in your prime
How you [F]held all your pride in hands [G]stained
And [Am]you'd go to work
for [C]breadcrumbs and dirt
So your [F]kids could stand tall in their [G]name
And [Am]you'd told me,
"Son, there are [C]things to be done
When you're [F]older and stronger like [G]me"
You [Am]give all you have just to [C]be a good dad
And you'll [F]die a thousand times just to [G]please

[Chorus 1]
An [F]old man, the [G]blood that you bled
And the [Am]mouths that you fed at your [C]door
An [F]old man, the [G]sweat that you pour
Proves that [Am]they don't
make 'em like [C]you no more
An [F]old man, the [G]dinners you missed
So your [Am]daughters could eat at this [C]table
An [F]old man, [G]I would give back
All the [Am]things that you've lacked if [C]I was able

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]

[Verse 2]
I've [Am]never seen you smile
like you [C]did out in Pineville
When the [F]crowd screamed
the words of your [G]kid
And [Am]you told me,
"Boy, it's been a [C]long hard road
In this [F]life that I've chose for my [G]kin
And [Am]I wish and I pray I could go[C] back in time
So I could [F]raise up this family a[G]gain"

[Chorus 2]
[F]Old man, the [G]blood that you bled
And the [Am]mouths that you fed at your [C]door
[F]Old man, the [G]sweat that you pour
Proves that [Am]they don't
make 'em like [C]you no more
An [F]old man, the [G]dinners you missed
So your [Am]daughters could eat at this [C]table
[F]Old man, [G]I would give back
All the [Am]things that you've lacked if [C]I was able

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]
[Am][C][F][G]

[Outro 1]
I've [Am]heard all the stories
of you [C]back in your prime
How you [F]held all your pride in hands [G]stained
