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

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