The Old Man *[C] - The Furys's
G C
The tears have all been shed now
D G
We've said our last good--byes
Em
His soul's been blessed
Am
He's laid to rest
A D
And it's now I feel a--lone
G C
He was more than just a father
D G
A teacher, my best friend
Em
He can still be heard
Am
In the tunes we shared
A D
When we play them on our own.
[Chorus]
C G
No I nev--ver will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
C
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
G C
As a boy, he'd take me walk--ing
D G
By mountain field and stream
Em
And he showed me things
Am
Not known to kings
A D
And secret between him and me
G C
Like the colours of the pheas--ant
D G
As he rises in the dawn
Em Am
And how to fish and make a wish
A D
Be--side the holy tree.
[Chorus]
C G
No I nev--ver will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
C
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
G C
I thought he'd live for--ever
D G
He seemed so big and strong
Em
But the minutes fly
Am
And the years roll by
A D
For a father and a son
G C
And sud--denly, when it hap--pened
D G
There was so much left un--said
Em
No second chance
Am
To tell him thanks
A D
For everything he's done.
[Chorus]
C G
No I nev--ver will forget him
C G
For he made me what I am
C
Though he may be gone
D Em
Memories linger on
C D G
And I miss him…...the old man
