Alan Jackson – The Fireflys Song (Guitar)

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
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

 A
You used to talk and I used to nod

        E
I didn't listen but I hear a lot

F#m                                      Bm
Don't believe for a second that my key won't fit your door

                   A
I don't want you like I used to

          E                A
This old man wants you more

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

D                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

 A
I used to sing with a young man's voice

       E
A young man's heart and a young man's choice

F#m                                     Bm
Hope my song is what you're longing for

                    A
I don't sing like I used to

  E                A
Sometimes less is more

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

D                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

 A
Well, this crazy life is all we got

       E
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot

F#m                                     Bm
In the end that's what this story shows

                    A
I don't love you like I used to

  E                A
This old man loves you more

                    A
I don't love you like I used to

  E                A
This old man loves you more
