The Old Man Is Dead
By
Del Way
G G/F# Em
Now and then, an old friend of mine,
C D
I've not seen for sometime,
G G/F# Em
will stop by and ask me,
C D
where've you been, what's on your mind,
C D
they wonder why I'm not drinking,
G G/F# Em
and still painting this old town red,
C D
I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,
C D G
and the old man is dead.
[Chorus]
C D
The man you see before you,
G G/F# Em
may look a lot the same,
C D
I may wear the same old clothes,
G G/F# Em
and still have the same old name,
C D
but your looking on the outside,
G G/F# Em
if you could see inside instead,
C D
you would see a brand new man, cause,
C D G
the old man is dead.
G G/F# Em
I used to live such a wicked life,
C D
I had no hope in sight,
G G/F# Em
I was lost in darkness,
C D
just searching for a light,
C D
and then one night in a little church,
G G/F# Em
after hearing what the preacher said,
C D
I gave my life to Jesus,
C D G
and the old man was dead.
