[Intro] G D C C G D C C [Verse 1]
G      D                C
Old man sleeping the hot day away

G       D                 C
While he dreams a thousand yesterdays

G          D           C
'Cause he's had so many come his way

A                    C                            G
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow
[Verse 2]
G      D                 C
Old man sits and thinks about his home

G      D                  C
Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone

G        D                C
What he'd give to get back on his own

A                          C                           G
Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation

  A                            C                           G
He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation
[Instrumental] G D C C G D C C G D C C G C G D [Chorus]
G            C
What a shame, his time is nearing

G                         C
His eyes won't let him see the skies are clearing

G                C
Someone tells him without his hearing

A                           C                            A             C
It's no news to those who've been around while things are changing, oh
[Outro] A C A C A C A C A C A C A C G
