G#
With skin as tough as a burlap sack
G#/C
He had his second heart attack
C# G#
Last summer but hes still goin
G#
Theres a melancholy in his eyes
G#/C
For all of you who care enough
Cadd9 G#
To wonder why, well, let me tell you
Fm A#sus
It all started back in 1957
Cadd9 D# Cadd9
When ole Walt Disney took him by surprise
G#/C D# Cadd9 G#
Thats the day Old Yeller died
G#
Well, that twelve year old became a man
G#/C Cadd9
Eleven years too soon in Vietnam
G#
With his best friend Tommy
G#
They were tough as nails and southern born
G#/C Cadd9
And awfully proud to wear that uniform
G#
Then things got scary
Fm A#sus
On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven
Cadd9 D# Cadd9
The same year the world was taken by surprise
G#/C D# Cadd9 G#
Thats the day Martin Luther died
D#
So before you judge him you need to know
Cadd9
Theres more to that old man than what you
G# D#
See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand
G#
You heard about his younger years
Cadd9
But dont leave now theres more to hear
G# D#
That might explain the pain in that old man
G#
How quick America forgot
G#/C
About the only war theyd lost
Cadd9 G#
And life goes on, thats what they tell ya
G#
No ticker tape no reason why
G#/C
Might have never seen the end of that chapter
Cadd9 G#
Of his life, if he hadnt met Betty
Fm A#sus
They got married in December 1980
Cadd9 D#
No doubt it was the best day of his life
Cadd9 G#/C D# Cadd9 G#
Two days before John Lennon died
D#
So before you judge him you need to know
Cadd9
Theres more to that old man than what you
G# D#
See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand
D#
Now weve covered chapter two
Cadd9
I can almost see a change in you
G# D#
Theres still a lot of life in that old man
G#
He hadnt had a drink in at least a year
G#/C
To tell the truth Im shocked hes here
Cadd9 D#
But as long as he wants em, Im gonna pour em
G#
Before you came in I asked him why
G#/C Cadd9
He just raised his fragile head and wiped his eyes
G#
And then he told me
Fm A#sus
Ive seen so much in my life Ive never questioned
Cadd9 D# Cadd9
This time the good Lord took me by surprise
G#/C D# Cadd9 G#
Yesterday my Betty died
G#
With skin as tough as a burlap sack
G#/C
He had his second heart attack
Cadd9 G#
Last summer but hes still goin
