[Intro]
C              D           G                 C
Old and in the way, that’s what I heard them say

     Am               C                              G
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday

C                 D        G                C
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away

        Am          C                                    G
They’ll never care about you while you’re old and in the way
[Verse 1]
D                        G
Once I hear tell, he was happy

C                G                D
Had his share of friends and good times

           C
Now, those friends have all passed on

         G                    Em
He don’t have no place called home

         Am            C                               G
Like the old dog gone astray, he’s just old and in the way
[Chorus]
C              D           G                 C
Old and in the way, that’s what I heard them say

     Am               C                              G
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday

C                 D        G                C
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away

        Am          C                                    G
They’ll never care about you while you’re old and in the way
[Verse 2]
D                        G
When just a boy, he left his home

C              G                   D
Thought he’d have the world on a string

           C
Now the years have come and gone

         G                    Em
Through the streets he walks alone

         Am            C                             G
Lookin’ back to a better day, feelin’ old and in the way
[Chorus]
C              D           G                 C
Old and in the way, that’s what I heard them say

     Am               C                              G
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday

C                 D        G                C
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away

        Am          C                                     G
They’ll never care about you ‘cause you’re old and in the way

        Am          C                                     G
They’ll never care about you ‘cause you’re old and in the way
