G With skin as tough as a burlap sack G/B He had his second heart attack C G Last summer but hes still goin G Theres a melancholy in his eyes G/B For all of you who care enough Cadd9 G To wonder why, well, let me tell you Em Asus It all started back in 1957 Cadd9 D Cadd9 When ole Walt Disney took him by surprise G/B D Cadd9 G Thats the day Old Yeller died G Well, that twelve year old became a man G/B Cadd9 Eleven years too soon in Vietnam G With his best friend Tommy G They were tough as nails and southern born G/B Cadd9 And awfully proud to wear that uniform G Then things got scary Em Asus On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven Cadd9 D Cadd9 The same year the world was taken by surprise G/B D Cadd9 G Thats the day Martin Luther died D So before you judge him you need to know Cadd9 Theres more to that old man than what you G D See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand G You heard about his younger years Cadd9 But dont leave now theres more to hear G D That might explain the pain in that old man G How quick America forgot G/B About the only war theyd lost Cadd9 G And life goes on, thats what they tell ya G No ticker tape no reason why G/B Might have never seen the end of that chapter Cadd9 G Of his life, if he hadnt met Betty Em Asus They got married in December 1980 Cadd9 D No doubt it was the best day of his life Cadd9 G/B D Cadd9 G Two days before John Lennon died D So before you judge him you need to know Cadd9 Theres more to that old man than what you G D See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand D Now weve covered chapter two Cadd9 I can almost see a change in you G D Theres still a lot of life in that old man G He hadnt had a drink in at least a year G/B To tell the truth Im shocked hes here Cadd9 D But as long as he wants em, Im gonna pour em G Before you came in I asked him why G/B Cadd9 He just raised his fragile head and wiped his eyes G And then he told me Em Asus Ive seen so much in my life Ive never questioned Cadd9 D Cadd9 This time the good Lord took me by surprise G/B D Cadd9 G Yesterday my Betty died G With skin as tough as a burlap sack G/B He had his second heart attack Cadd9 G Last summer but hes still goin
