My Old Man
By Steve Goodman
I may play the A (x07650) as an alternative to standard position
E B7 E
I miss my old man tonight
E B7 E
I wish he was here with me
A
With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars
E
He could look you in the eye, and sell you a car
E B7 E A
That’s not an easy thing to do, but no one ever knew
A E
A more charming creature on this earth
E B7 E
Than my old man
E B7 E
He was a pilot in the big war
E B7 E
In the US Army Air Corp
A
In a C-47, with a heavy load
E
Carried combat cargo o’er Burma Road
E B7 E A
And after they dropped the bomb, he came home and married mom
A E
And not too long after that
E B7 E
He was my old man
E B7 E
And all the fights that we had
E B7 E
When my brother and I got him mad
A
He’d get all choked up, and start to shout
E
I knew what was coming, and I tuned him out
E B7 E A
And now the old man is gone, and I’d give all I own
A E
Just to hear what he said, when I wasn’t listing
E B7 E
To my old man
E B7 E
I miss the old man tonight
E B7 E
I can almost see his face
A
He was always trying to watch his weight
E
His heart only made it to fifty-eight
E B7 E A
For the first time since he died, late last night I cried
A E
I was wondering when I was gonna go and do that
E B7 E
For my old man
*If you want to play it like John Prine just swap E-B7-A for G-D-C.
