The Old Man Is Dead
By
Del Way
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Now and then, an old friend of mine,
FF G+G
I've not seen for sometime,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
will stop by and ask me,
FF G+G
where've you been, what's on your mind,
FF G+G
they wonder why I'm not drinking,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
and still painting this old town red,
FF G+G
I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,
FF G+G C majorC
and the old man is dead.
Chorus:
FF G+G
The man you see before you,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
may look a lot the same,
FF G+G
I may wear the same old clothes,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
and still have the same old name,
FF G+G
but your looking on the outside,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
if you could see inside instead,
FF G+G
you would see a brand new man, cause,
FF G+G C majorC
the old man is dead.
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
I used to live such a wicked life,
FF G+G
I had no hope in sight,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
I was lost in darkness,
FF G+G
just searching for a light,
FF G+G
and then one night in a little church,
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
after hearing what the preacher said,
FF G+G
I gave my life to Jesus,
FF G+G C majorC
