  My old man,       he's a singer  in  the  park
D                      E7sus
  He's a walker in the rain
       D/E                A7sus   Am7
he's a dancer  in   the   dark

D                         A7sus          A7        D/E
We don't need no piece of paper from the City Hall

Keeping us tied and true

  My old man,   keeping away    my blues

He's my sunshine in the morning

He's my fireworks at the end of the day
D                       E7sus
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
D/E        A7sus                        Am7
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby

  My old man,   keeping away    my blues

              Abm7                        Bbm  Gbmaj7
but when he's gone, me and them lonesome blues         collide
    Db                 Dbm7              B
The bed's too big, the frying pan's too wide

D/A   D7    E  D/E  A     D/A

D              E7sus
Then he comes home
D/E                A               D/A
And he takes me in his loving arms
D                       E7sus
And he tells me all his troubles
D/E             A7sus        Am7
And he tells me all my charms
