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