Words and Music by John Williamson
Cadd9
Well old Bob hasn't got much but he values his boots
Cadd9
He values the time he spends growin' flowers
G
He still loves his babies that grew to be men
G
He recalls all the days 'n' nights and the hours
Cadd9
When he and his woman worked on the land
Cadd9
In the heat and the dry, in the cold and the wet
G
He still picks her a rose and his old heart still races
G Cadd9
She's still the most beautiful girl that he's met
[CHORUS]
G
And you ask is he happy...and you ask is he happy
C Am Am/G D
He's got wrinkles from smiling, he feels lucky and free
G Am Am/G D
And he knows what it means to live here in the sunshine
Cadd9 Am D G Cadd9
He's got wrinkles...... ooo.... ooo......ooo
[VERSE]
Cadd9
He walks with Amelia down to the store
Cadd9
With a little cane basket for the bread and the daily Sun
G
Still hand in hand like babes in the meadows And young faces turn
Cadd9
Love is so beautiful, it can be so deep
Cadd9
And a man is a king when he has his own princess
G
Bob wears no crown, no long flowing robe
G Cadd9
But there in his mind he still rides on his black stallion
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Then a cold winter came, and Bob was alone
Cadd9
His beautiful princess had flown with the angels
G
He faded so quickly, the man became old
G
And the wandering dew soon covered the roses
Cadd9
First just a cane, then a strong stick for walking
Cadd9
Then just a chair with a grey old man dying
G
All that he lived for was always beside him
G Cadd9
So Bob left in peace, to join his lady
[VERSE]
G
And you ask is he happy...and you ask is he happy
C Am Am/G D
He's got wrinkles from smiling, he feels lucky and free
G Am Am/G D
And he knows what it means to live here in the sunshine
Cadd9 Am D G Cadd9
He's got wrinkles...... ooo.... ooo......ooo
