[Talking]
E
The old man's hair was white, his eyes looked tiredHe drank his beer at the table all alone
But he smiled when I spoke to him, so I sat down for awhile
I wound up sitting there the whole night long
'Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mind
So I just sat there and listened, and I was glad to take the time
[Verse 1]
E E7 A And he said, "I saw Jimmy Rodgers yodel on the stage B7 E And I saw Hank when they walked him to his grave E7 A I saw a country boy from Memphis change the world with rock and roll B7 E And these old eyes have seen it all"
[Verse 2]
E E7 A And he said, "I saw friends of mine on foreign soil die proud B7 E I saw things over there, son, that I still can't talk about E7 A I saw a crazy man named Hitler and his army rise and fall B7 E Yes, these old eyes have seen it all
[Chorus]
A B7 E These old eyes have seen it all A B7 Now the hands of time are writing on the wall A B7 E E7 A Telling me I won't have long to wait until my Jesus call B7 E C7 These old eyes have seen it all
[Verse 3]
