The Old Man

 A | D | E | Bm | A


[Verse 1]
         A               D        
The tears have all been shed now, 
      E              A
we've said our last goodbye's,
F#m                           Bm 
His soul's been blessed,he's laid
                   B          E
 to rest, and it's now I feel alone,
         A               D        
He was more that just a father, a 
E               A
teacher my best friend,
F#m                            Bm
He can still be heard in the tunes 
we shared,
 B                       E    E7
as we played them on our own.


[Chorus]
     D        A                  
I never will forget him, for he 
D             A
made me what I am,
          D                   
Though he may be gone memories 
  A    F#m           Bm      E  
linger on,   and I miss him, the
      A
 old man

[Verse 2]
     A                D      
As a boy he'd take me walking, 
          E                   A
through mountain field and stream,
        F#m                        
And he'd show me things not known 
   Bm            B                
to kings, a secret between him and 
E
me,
         A               D        
Like the colours of the pheasent, 
       E            A
as she rises in the dawn,
 F#m                   Bm    B   
How to fish and make a wish, 
             E    E7
beside the holly tree.


[Chorus]
   D            A                
I never will forget him, for he 
D             A
made me what I am,
           D                  
Though he may be gone memories 
  A    F#m          Bm       E  
linger on,   and I miss him, the
       A
 old man

[Verse 3]
    A                   D         
I thought he'd live forever, coz 
    E               A
he seemed so big and strong,
   F#m                    Bm      
But the minutes fly, the years 
             B              E
roll by, for a father and his son,
     A                  D     
Then suddenly when it happened, 
            E                A
there was so much left unsaid,
  F#m               Bm            
No second chance to tell him 
         B             E      E7
thanks, for everything he's done.


[Chorus]
     D          A                
I never will forget him, for he 
D             A
made me what I am,
           D                  
Though he may be gone memories 
  A    F#m          Bm       E  
linger on,   and I miss him, My 
      A
old man
