[Intro]
G D G
[Verse 1]
G D G
I miss my old man tonight
G D G
And I wish he was here with me
C
With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars
C G
He could look you in the eye, and sell you a car
D G
That’s not an easy thing to do
G C
but no one ever knew
C G
A more charming creature on this earth
G D G
Than my old man
[Verse 2]
G D G
He was a pilot in the big war
G D G
In the US Army Air Corp
C
In a C-47, with a heavy load
C G
Carrying combat cargo o’er Burma Road
D G
And after they dropped the bomb
G C
he came home and married mom
C G
And not too long after that
G D G
He was my old man

[Verse 3]
G D G
And oh the fights that we had
G D G
When my brother and me got him mad
C
He’d get all boiled up, and start to shout
C G
We knew what was coming, so we tuned him out
D G
And now the old man is gone
G C
and I’d give all I own
C G
Just to hear what he said, when I wasn’t listing
G D G
To my old man
[Verse 4]
G D G
I miss my old man tonight
G D G
I can almost see his face
C
He was always trying to watch his weight
C G
His heart only made it to fifty-eight
D G C
For the first time since he died, late last night I cried
C G
I was wondering when I was gonna go and do that
G D G
For my old man
