My Old Man

Written by Steve Goodman

	  		

I may play the A (x07650) as an alternative to standard position 



E             B7       E       
I miss my old man tonight 
E             B7       E       
I wish he was here with me 
A 
With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars 
                                  E 
He could look you in the eye, and sell you a car 
E             B7            E                 A  
Thatâ??s not an easy thing to do, but no one ever knew 
A                           E 
A more charming creature on this earth 
E       B7  E  
Than my old man 


E             B7       E       
He was a pilot in the big war 
E             B7       E       
In the US Army Air Corp 
A 
In a C-47, with a heavy load 
                                  E 
Carried combat cargo oâ??er Burma Road 
E             B7            E                 A  
And after they dropped the bomb, he came home and married mom 
A                           E 
And not too long after that 
E       B7  E  
He was my old man 


E             B7       E       
And all the fights that we had 
E             B7       E       
When my brother and I got him mad 
A 
Heâ??d get all choked up, and start to shout 
                                  E 
I knew what was coming, and I tuned him out 
E             B7            E                 A  
And now the old man is gone, and Iâ??d give all I own 
A                           E 
Just to hear what he said, when I wasnâ??t listing 
E       B7  E  
To my old man 


E             B7       E       
I miss the old man tonight 
E             B7       E       
I can almost see his face 
A 
He was always trying to watch his weight 
                                  E 
His heart only made it to fifty-eight 
E             B7            E                 A  
For the first time since he died, late last night I cried 
A                           E 
I was wondering when I was gonna go and do that 
E       B7  E  
For my old man
