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