Smoke and Whistles (Capo 1 or 3) [Verse 1]
G                               C               G
I see and old man sitting with a young man’s heart

G                               C               G
He knows lot about living but he ain’t been far (He’s even bled for his stars)

G                       C               G
63 years since he was as young as me

G               C       Em
85 years living wild and free
[Verse 2]
G                               C           G
He keeps one foot down and one on the rise

G                               D              Em
Smoking his cigarette with a fire in his eyes

G                       C               G
He can tell you stories about death and life

G                       D                C
About finding love watching widows cry
[Chorus]
Em      D       C
But oh I see in me

Em      D       C
That old man coming to be

Em      D       C
And oh I feel in me

Em               D              G
That old man, watching over me
[Verse 3]
G               C               G
Some say it’s a matter of time

G                               C          G
Before that old man hits the end of line

G                       C               G
Drowning his problems from the top of the day

G               C       Em
Drinking to the one whose memory fade away
[Verse 4]
G                               C       G
She was 4 foot 8, an angel in disguise

G                               D           Em
And the devil wouldn’t even cross her line

G                       C               G
She would share a smile that got sweeter with time

G                       D                C
Then wash it away with some sherry wine
[Chorus]
Em      D       C
But oh I see in me

Em      D       C
That old man coming to be

Em      D       C
And oh I feel in me

Em               D              G
That old man, watching over me
[Ending Chorus]
Em      D       C
But oh I see in me

Em      D       C
That old man coming to be

Em      D       C
And oh I feel in me

Em               D              C
That old man, watching over me

Em               D              C
That old man, watching over me

Em               D                   G
That old man, is gonna watch over me
