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

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