Old Man Down The Road

Ok guys heres my version of Old man 
down the road!
The E7 can also be played as a Em 
and it still sounds right!


Intro:

Use a clear tone with bridge pickup 
I find works the best, no effects or
fancy tools needed!

Verse 1     Play chords nice and 
jumpy
          E7
He take-a thunder from the mountain
          G
He take-a lightnin' from the sky
             A
He bring the strong man to his 
beggin' knees
            E7
He make the young girl's mama cry

CHORUS:
           E7
You got to hidey-hide
           G
You got to jump and run
           A
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
    C       D             E7
The old man   is down the road

Verse 2:
He got the voices speakin' riddles
He got eyes as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with 
rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road

CHORUS

 John'sinstrumental..... same 
pattern as chorus

Verse 3:
He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross the window
When the old man comes around

Chorus(last line twice)

Now for some of the riffs used.. i 
think you can figure out where.
These are not fully correct, I 
mainly improvise them.
