[Verse 1]
G      D                C
Old man sleeping the hot day away
G       D                 C
While he dreams a thousand yesterdays
G          D           C
'Cause he's had so many come his way
A                    C                            G
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow

[Verse 2]
G      D                 C
Old man sits and thinks about his home
G      D                  C
Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone
G        D                C
What he'd give to get back on his own
A                          C                           G
Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation
  A                            C                           G
He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation

[Chorus]
G            C
What a shame, his time is nearing
G                         C
His eyes won't let him see the skies are clearing
G                C
Someone tells him without his hearing
A                           C                            A             C
It's no news to those who've been around while things are changing, oh
