The Old Man Said

INTRO:
F  C  C  Fmaj7  Em  Am G F

F G C  C Am F  F G F C G

VERSE:
         F   G   C
And the old man said
         C          Am      F
"Son, I don't have long to live"
    F      G          C  Am      
He slowly raised his cup and he took
G
 a sip

         F   G   C
And the old man said
    C        Am        F
"I fought a dang good fight"
   F        G     F         C   
So I pulled up a chair and sat 
      G
there half the night


CHORUS:
         F
And the old man said

"Don't take a single day for granted
      C
Love like there's no tomorrow

Tattoo the seeds you planted

      F
Be a good friend and a brother
           Em                 C
Love your children and their mother
    Am            Em           
And die by those living words in 
   F   F
red"

         F   G   C
And the old man said

VERSE:
        C            Am      F
"Money really ain't worth a dime"
          F       G      C
Then gave me his golden watch
        Am       G
Said, "It's all borrowed time"

         F   G   C
And the old man said
            C     Am     F
"If I could do it all again
           F         G      F    
I'd spend more time loving her 
     Am          G
and a little more time fishing"


CHORUS:
         F
And the old man said

"Don't take a single day for granted

BDA K:
             F
Don't build walls around your heart
       C
Never shackle up your soul
     Dm7                           
Love is the only thing that you'll 
      C
take with you when you go

       F
Always be quick to forgive
         C
Forever slow to throw stones
     Dm7                         
Just like a flash, life is a dash 
              G
between the girth and the bones


OUTRO:
         F   G   C
And the old man said
     C     Am       F
"Son I can see the light"
 F       G       F    C      G
Then he took my hand and he squeezed
 it tight

          F         G       C
The last thing the old man said
            C       Am        F
"Don't you dare be scared of death
      F    G     F      C
It's only the beginning"
        G
And he took his last breath (breath)
