Chords

[Intro] Em A Em A D A [Verse 1]
       D
You'll always hear me say "Hello, Ma'am"
"Thank you", "Good mornin'", "Lookin' fine"
G
It's all those old folks left here waiting

                           D
That left my heart into my mind
[Chorus 1]
A               Em
It's a sad, sad feeling

             D
To still be around
[Verse 2]
D
On every sunny Sunday morning
All golden-aged and sittin' in
G
Comes out to putter in the sunshine

                                D
And shuffle through his deck of bins
[Chorus 2]
A               Em
It's a sad, sad feeling

             D
To still be around

             A              Em
And it's the same old tired park bench

G        D
Nobody's found
[Verse 3]
D
Soft wrinkled stories if you listen
About the lazy days back when
G
Your mom and dad were little babies

                                D
And he had friends still livin' then
[Chorus 3]
A               Em
It's a sad, sad feeling

             D
To still be around

             A              Em
And it's the same old tired park bench

G        D
Nobody's found

            A                  G
There was a tree put there for shading

              D
That they cut down
[Verse 4]
D
The fields he loved got turned to highways
From horse to car to plane to moon
G
Staying well meant that he feels older

                              D
Yet none of his kids have the room
[Chorus 4]
A               Em
It's a sad, sad feeling

             D
To still be around

             A              Em
And it's the same old tired park bench

G        D
Nobody's found

            A                  Em
There was a tree put there for shading

              D
That they cut down

        A                    Em
And his old shoes had worn a spot there

              D
From grass to ground
[Outro] Em A Em A D G D G D G A
