Intro:
Ab  Eb  Db  Db Db Db Db EbX2

Verse:
Ab                Eb
I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the
Db                Eb
sun behind my back
Ab                  Eb
I'm tired of people talking of things
Db
that I lack
Bbm
Ever since a week ago,
Db                    Ab
the day he passed away
          Ab              Eb
I've been taking too much notice of the
Db                        Eb
things they've had to say

Chorus:
Ab                      Eb
And all they say is you ain't half the
Db                Eb
man he used to be
Ab                     Eb
He had strength and he worked his life to
Db
feed his family
Bbm
So if that's the way it has to be,
 Db                    Ab
I'll say goodbye to you
    Ab              Eb
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to
Db                      Eb
fill my old man's shoes

Verse:
Ab                       Eb
Like I'm a wicked way of life,
Db                  Ab
the kind that should be tamed
       Ab             Eb
They'd like to see me locked in jail and
 Db               Ab
tied up in their chains
       Ab         Bbm
Oh it's hard and I can't see
Db                      Ab
what they want me to do Lord, Lord
     Ab
They seem to think I should
Bbm           Db        Ab
step into the old man's shoes

Chorus:
Ab                      Eb
And all they say is you ain't half the
Db                Eb
man he used to be
Ab                     Eb
He had strength and he worked his life to
Db
feed his family
Bbm
So if that's the way it has to be,
 Db                    Ab
I'll say goodbye to you
    Ab              Eb
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to
Db                      Eb
