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