[Intro] Am G/B C F G x4 [Verse 1]
     Am            G/B            C
I’ve heard all the stories of you back in your prime

         F                            G
When you held all your pride in hands stained

    Am          G/B      C
And you’d go to work for breadcrumbs and dirt

        F                              G
So your kids could stand tall in their names

    Am           G/B           C
And you told me “Son there are things to be done

            F                       G
When you’re older and stronger like me”

        Am           G/B          C
And you give all you have just to be a good dad

    F                            G
And die a thousand times just to please
[Chorus]
F            G                              Am                 G/B         C
Old man, the blood that you’ve bled and the mouths that you’ve fed at your door

F            G                                    Am         G/B           C
Old man, the sweat that you’ve poured proves that they don’t make 'em like you no more

F            G                             Am              G/B         C
Old man, the dinners you’ve missed so your daughters could eat at this table

F        G                         Am                 G/B             C
Old man, I would give back all the things that you’ve lacked if I was able
[Instrumental] (Harmonica) Am G/B C F G x2 [Verse 2]
     Am           G/B            C
I’ve never seen a smile like you did out in Pineville

         F                                G
When the crowd screamed the words of your kid

Am           G/B              C
You told me "Boy, it’s been a long hard road

         F                           G
And this life that I’ve chose for my kin

    Am          G/B           C
But I wish and I pray I could go back in time

           F                     G
So I could raise up this family again"
[Chorus]
F            G                              Am                 G/B         C
Old man, the blood that you’ve bled and the mouths that you’ve fed at your door

F                G                      Am         G/B           C
Old man, I guess time goes to show that they don’t make 'em like you no more

F            G                             Am              G/B         C
Old man, the dinners you’ve missed so your daughters could eat at this table

F        G                         Am                 G/B             C
Old man, I would give back all the things that you’ve lacked if I was able
[Instrumental] (Harmonica) F G Am G/B C x2 [Verse 3]
     Am            G/B            C
I’ve heard all the stories of you back in your prime

        F                              G
How you held all your pride in hands stained

    Am          G/B      C
And you’d go to work for breadcrumbs and dirt

        F                              G
So your kids could stand tall in their names
[Outro] (Harmonica) Am G/B C F G x4
