My Old Man

Intro: D Bm A D
           F#m   Bm            A
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
D
Then he'd have to go
                       F#m    Bm  
Said he'd been blessed with a 
      A
gypsy bone
That's the reason they guessed
D
He'd been cursed to roam
               F#m  Bm            A
Came into town back before the war
Didn't even know what it was
D
He was looking for
                    F#m    Bm
Carried a tattered bag for his 
        A
violin
It was full of lots of songs
   D
Of places that he'd been
                   F#m  Bm  
He talked real eeaassy, had a 
              A
smiling way
To pass along to you
D
When his fiddle played
              F#m        Bm       
Making people drop their cares and
      A
 woes

To hum out loud those tunes
D
That his fiddle howled
                  F#m  Bm         
Till the people there began to 
             A
join that sound
And everyone in town was laughing
D
Singing, dancing round
                   F#m
Like the fiddler's tune
    Bm                        A
Was all they heard that night
As if some dream said
 D
"All the world is right"
               F#m           Bm   
His fiddler's eye caught one 
         A
beauty there
She had that rollin', flowin'
D
Golden kind of hair
                  F#m     Bm      
He played for her as if she danced
        A
 alone
Played his favorite songs
D
Ones he called his own
                  F#m       Bm    
He played until she was the last 
      A
to go
Stopped and packed his case
D
And said he'd take her home

F#m  Bm
A    D

                      F#m     Bm  
All the nights that passed a child
          A
 was born
All the years that passed
     D
That love would keep them warm
                         F#m     
All their lives they'd share a 
Bm            A
dream come true
All because she danced
D
While his fiddle tuned
           F#m   Bm             A
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
  D
Then he'd have to go
               F#m     Bm         
All that I recall said when I was 
          A
so young
There's no one else could really
D
Sing those songs he sung
