David Allan Coe - Old Man Tell Me
Capo 1
D
I've seen the old man sittin' round
The courthouse square back home in town
G Em G A
Talkin' about the big war, back in 1943
D
Sayin' how much good it's done
Medals gleamin' in the sun
G Em
Cussin' at my long hair
G A
And my talk of bein' free.
D
Their vision like their battle scars
A
Of other wars has faded
G
Like the colors on the ribbons
D
From the battles that they've won
G
If there's one thing I've learned it's this
D Bm
You just can't shake hand with a fist
Em A
And I once did my talkin' with a gun.
D
And old man I know what you've seen
A
But yours is not the only dream
G F#m Em G A
I have to believe in something more than yesterday
D
Let it die just like the past
A G
I believe there's hope at last
A
Old man, did you ever have to pray
D
Old man, can you show me the way.
D
He shakes his head from time to time
And rambles somewhere in his mind
G Em
Mumblin' bout the civil war
G A
And how we should have won
D
Settin' up his battle plans
On checker boards at his command
G Em G A
Watchin' all his gallant kings go fallen one by one.
D
And "son he'd say there's not much time
For you to straighten out your mind
G Em A
But you never listen, to the things I try to say
D
And I just turn my head and cry
Never understanding why
G Em
He'd set up that checkerboard
A
When he knew I couldn't play.
