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

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

But we are what we have done

Sweet souls setting in the sun
