George Jones - These old eyes have seen it all

^EThe old man's hair was white, his eyes looked tired He drank his beer at the table all alone But he smiled when I spoke to him, so I sat down for awhile I wound up sitting there the whole night long 'Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mind So I just sat there and listened, and I was glad to take the time

And he said, "I saw ^EJimmy Rodgers ^E7yodel on the ^Astage And I saw ^B7Hank when they walked him to ^Ehis grave I saw a country boy from ^E7Memphis change the ^Aworld with rock and roll And ^B7these old eyes have seen it ^Eall"

And he said, "I saw ^Efriends of mine on ^E7foreign soil ^Adie proud I saw ^B7things over there, son, that I still can't talk about ^E I saw a crazy man named ^E7Hitler and his ^Aarmy rise and fall Yes, ^B7these old eyes have seen it ^Eall

^AThese old ^B7eyes have seen it ^Eall Now the ^Ahands of time are writing on the ^B7wall ^ATelling me I ^B7won't have long to ^Ewait until my ^E7Jesus ^Acall ^B7These old eyes have seen ^Eit all ^C7

I saw ^Fmy sweet Mary ^F7love me, fifty ^Bbyears" With a ^C7trembling hand, he wiped away a tear ^F He said, "My memories of ^F7Mary are the ^Bbsweetest I recall And ^C7these old eyes have seen it ^Fall

^BbThese old ^C7eyes have seen it ^Fall They saw a ^Bbman walk on the moon and come back ^C7home And I ^Bbknow it won't be ^C7very long until I ^Fhear my ^F7Jesus ^Bbcall ^C7These old eyes have seen ^Fit all

Son, ^C7these old eyes have seen it ^Fall
