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

Verse Three:
Gm A#
My old man is as soft as rain
F A#
Humming through the night to forget his pain

It runs through the family from what I hear
F A#
But it only draws me near
//Chorus Two//
Cm Gm
My old man is good at singing
A# F
He plays the guitar like Carlos Santana should have done

But we are what we have done

Sweet souls setting in the sun
