Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: D A Bm G D
DABmGDAGm
I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing
DABmGGm
Young folks don't pay me no mind
DABmGDGm
But in my day I sure was something
DABmGDGm
Before I felt the heavy hand of time
DABmGDAGm
I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory
DABmGGm
Time to lay these burdens down
DABmGDAGm
Had enough of this old world of worry
DABmGDGm
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown
DABmGDABmG
I will make my way across the fields of cotton
DABmGDABmG
And wade through muddy waters one last time
D A Bm G stuff happens
And in my dreams I come out clean
DAG
When I reach the other side
EmG
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die
--Solo Time--
A
I've got one last thing to do
G
One more mile before I'm through
A
Casting off these earthly chains
GA
Going where there's no more pain
--Little more solo time--
DABmGDABmG
I will make my way across the fields of cotton
DABmGDABmG
And wade through muddy waters one last time
DABmGDGm
And in my dreams I come out clean
DAG
When I reach the other side
EmG
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die
