Version 1
[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
