Verse One:
D#m F#
My old man is a lonely tree
C# F#
Sitting on a branch in a lonely sea
D#m F#
When I first met him I thought how
C# F#
Could he have let my mother down
Chorus One:
G#m D#m
But my old man he came to see me
F# C#
He put his hand in mine and said he loved me
G#m D#m
Well I was burned up with ill feeling
F#
But his eyes they said it all
C#
I forgave him for his fall
D#m
Verse Two:
D#m F#
And in the summer he’s a summer breeze
C# F#
Shooting at all his possibilities
D#m F#
He prays to god to fix him up
C# F#
But he plays with the devil to fill his cup
//Chorus Two//
G#m D#m
My old man is good at singing
F# C#
He plays the guitar like Carlos Santana should have done
G#m D#m
To be a broken man it hurts his feelings
F#
But we are what we have done
C#
Sweet souls setting in the sun
D#m

Verse Three:
D#m F#
My old man is as soft as rain
C# F#
Humming through the night to forget his pain
D#m F#
It runs through the family from what I hear
C# F#
But it only draws me near
//Chorus Two//
G#m D#m
My old man is good at singing
F# C#
He plays the guitar like Carlos Santana should have done
G#m D#m
To be a broken man it hurts his feelings
F#
But we are what we have done
C#
Sweet souls setting in the sun
