With skin as tough as a burlap sack
C/E
He had his second heart attack
F C
Last summer but hes still goin
C
Theres a melancholy in his eyes
C/E
For all of you who care enough
Cadd9 C
To wonder why, well, let me tell you
Am Dsus
It all started back in 1957
Cadd9 G Cadd9
When ole Walt Disney took him by surprise
C/E G Cadd9 C
Thats the day Old Yeller died
C
Well, that twelve year old became a man
C/E Cadd9
Eleven years too soon in Vietnam
C
With his best friend Tommy
C
They were tough as nails and southern born
C/E Cadd9
And awfully proud to wear that uniform
C
Then things got scary
Am Dsus
On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven
Cadd9 G Cadd9
The same year the world was taken by surprise
C/E G Cadd9 C
Thats the day Martin Luther died

So before you judge him you need to know
Cadd9
Theres more to that old man than what you

See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand

You heard about his younger years
Cadd9

To tell the truth Im shocked hes here
Cadd9 G
But as long as he wants em, Im gonna pour em

This time the good Lord took me by surprise
C/E G Cadd9 C
Yesterday my Betty died
