Hello Old Man

	  		 
 

G                       C          G 
Hello old man, have you room for a wanderer 
C       G        D         G 
Running from his checkered past 
G               C        G 
No I'm not your favorite son 
  C     G    D        G 
I never even tied for last 


G                          C            G 
Do you still cuss the dirt and pray for rain 
C        G              D        G 
Stubborn as the sun and twice as vain 
G               C        D 
Think about all you have done 
           C       G         D        G 
Before you tell me you ain't wandered none 


         Em              C         G 
Now your wayward son has come back home 
           Em                   C     D 
What'd you think about me while I was gone 
    Em             C       G  
Old man when I was on your knee 
C                             D          G 
Didn't you think I'd turn out to be like me 



G                  C        G 
Hello old man, the world is strange 
C        G                D     G 
Cuts you up and mends you back again 
    G                   C         D 
You got your scars in a forgotten war 
C      G      D        G 
Mine I got on bar room floors 


G                      C            G 
Well you told me tales when I was a child 
C         G                  D       G 
Lord they made me wonder and made me wild 
G                C       D 
I guess I had to be like you 
      C          G       D      G 
There weren't no war but I made do 


         Em              C         G 
Now your wayward son has come back home 
           Em                   C     D 
What'd you think about me while I was gone 
    Em             C       G  
Old man when I was on your knee 
C                             D          G 
Didn't you think I'd turn out to be like me 



G                  C      G 
Hello old man life rolls along 
C        G              D             G 
I'm just trying to reap what you have sown 
          G                     C       D 
You never wished me well on the night I left 
C         G        D       G 
But in my eyes you saw yourself 


         Em              C         G 
Now your wayward son has come back home 
           Em                   C     D
