Hello Old Man
By: Chris Knight
Capo 1
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
C D G
you should have known I'd turn out to be like you
