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

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