My Old Man
By Steve Goodman

I may play the A augmentedA (x07650) as an alternative to standard position


E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
I miss my old man tonight
E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
I wish he was here with me
A augmentedA
With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars
                 E MajorE
He could look you in the eye, and sell you a car
E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE         A augmentedA
That?s not an easy thing to do, but no one ever knew
A augmentedA              E MajorE
A augmentedA more charming creature on this earth
E MajorE    B7B7 E MajorE
Than my old man

E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
He was a pilot in the big war
E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
In the US Army Air Corp
A augmentedA
In a C-47, with a heavy load
                 E MajorE
Carried combat cargo o?er Burma Road
E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And after they dropped the bomb, he came home and married mom
A augmentedA              E MajorE
And not too long after that
E MajorE    B7B7 E MajorE
He was my old man


E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
And all the fights that we had
E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
When my brother and I got him mad
A augmentedA
He?d get all choked up, and start to shout
                 E MajorE
I knew what was coming, and I tuned him out
E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And now the old man is gone, and I?d give all I own
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Just to hear what he said, when I wasn?t listing
E MajorE    B7B7 E MajorE
To my old man


E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
I miss the old man tonight
E MajorE       B7B7    E MajorE
I can almost see his face
A augmentedA
He was always trying to watch his weight
                 E MajorE
His heart only made it to fifty-eight
E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE         A augmentedA
For the first time since he died, late last night I cried
A augmentedA              E MajorE
I was wondering when I was gonna go and do that
E MajorE    B7B7 E MajorE
For my old man
