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