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