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

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