Rosanne Cash - My Old Man

my old man

C# F#
the old man is laughing tonight
G# C#
he’s young beyond his fears
D#m G#
but then the smile drops from his eyes and we all wind up in tears

the old man’s crying tonight
cause it all happened so fast
he’s frightened by the future , embarrassed by the past

chorus :
D#m G#
so let him be who he wants to be
C# A#m
cause he ain’t ever gonna be young again
D#m G#
and let him see who he needs to see
C# A#m
cause he never had too many friends
D#m G#
and ask him how he remembers me
C# A#m
cause i want to know where i stand
F# G# C#
how i love my old man

the old man’s restless tonight
just trying to kill his pain
he believes what he says he believes but that don’t make him a saint

the old man’s lonesome tonight
and he just wants to go home
all those fools who stand in his way why can’t they leave him alone
