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