A
i used to run in a young man’s boots
E
with a young man’s heart
and a young man’s roots
F#m Bm ( with a hammer – on on B string )
but now i stand where a young man stood before
A
i don’t run like i used to
E A
this old man don’t run no more
chorus :
F#m E
hey hidee ho
G#m F#m E
i used to go where the devil wouldn’t go
D
where the river run still
A
and the water don’t flow
Dmaj F#m
heaven couldn’t stop me then
E
hey hidee hi
G#m
good lord willin
F#m E
and the creek don’t rise
D
and life goes by
A
like the fireflies
E A
where the devil sits with a grin
