Biography:
Alabama is a country music band from Fort Payne, Alabama that was started in 1969 but did not get a recording contract until 1977. Alabama began by singing for tips around Myrtle Beach before going on to sell millions of records. They were among the first successful country groups since the mid-1970s, thanks to their blend of contemporary and traditional country and southern rock. On July 4-93 they opened a $7-million, 2,200-seat theater, located in Barefoot Landing-Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

VERSE:
F#
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
E B F#
Late for my plane again
F#
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
E B F#
That's when I saw the old man
D#m B C#
He was kicked back workin' on a big R C
D#m B
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
F# C# B
Took him awhile to even notice me
G#m G#m7/C# C#
Sittin' there I thought to myself
CHORUS:
F#
Old man (Old Man)
D#m
You got one up on me
B C#
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
D#m G#
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
B G#
Your satisfied as you can be
G#m
Old Man (Old Man)
C# F# D#m F#m D#m
I guess you got one up on me
VERSE:
F#
Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile
E B F#
Said "How ya doin, son?"
F#
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
E B F#
...'cause I'm really in a run."
D#m B C#
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
D#m B
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....
F# C# B
If you wanna see what the good life is.....
G#m G#m7/C# C#
Just get out and visit awhile."
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
D#m
Don't remember just what it was
B C#
The old man said to me
D#m
...But I forgot about catchin' the plane

And opened up the big R. C.
REPEAT CHORUS

...Old Man
