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