My Old Man chords Jerry Jeff Walker 1968 Capo III * A Bm E E7 A

^AMy old man had a ^Bmrounder soul He'd ^Ehear an ol' ^E7freight train and he'd ^Ahave to go

^ASaid he'd been blessed with a ^Bmgypsy bone And ^Ethat's the reason I ^E7guess that ^Ahe'd been cursed to roam

^ACame to town back be^Bmfore the war ^EDidn't even know ^E7what it was ^Ahe was lookin' for

He ^Acarried a tattered bag for his ^Bmviolin ^EFull of lots of songs ^E7of the ^Aplaces he had been

He ^Atalked real easy, he had a ^Bmsmiling way ^EHe could pass along to ^E7you ^Awhen his fiddle played

^AMakin' people drop their ^Bmcares and woes And ^Ehum out loud the ^E7tunes ^Athat his fiddle bowed

^ATil the people there began to ^Bmjoin that sound And ^Eev'ryone in town was laughin,' ^E7singin,' ^Adancin' 'round

^ALike the Fiddler's tunes we all there ^Bmheard that night ^ELike some dream that ^E7says ^Aall the world is right

Instrumental Break The Fiddler's eye caught a beauty there She had that rollin' flowin' golden kind of hair He played for her as if she danced alone He played his favorite songs, the ones he called his own She alone was dancin' in the room The only thing left movin' to that Fiddler's tune Instrumental break He played until she was the last to go The he stopped and packed his case, said he'd take her home In all the nights that passed a child was born In all the years that passed, love would keep them warm And all their lives they'd share that dream come true And all because she danced so well his fiddler tune Instrumental break The train next mornin' blew a lonesome sound As if she sang the blues of what she took from town And all that I recall that was said when I was young There's no one else could really sing those songs he sung * Alternate: Open A = C Bm = Dm E = G E7 = G7 Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
