Verse 1

       C#
He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
G#     C#
He was covered with the evening news
      G#           D#                G#
Had a pair of wool socks on his hands
         C#
The bank sign was flashing five below

It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
       G#        D#                  G#
He was curled up behind some garbage cans

Pre-Chorus 1

C7                             Fm C#
I was afraid that he was dead, I  gave him a gentle shake
C7                                     C#          D#  Bbm
When he opened up his eyes I said, Old man are you ok,

Chorus 1

                          C#
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree
                        G#
I was running from some honey bees
      G#7          C#
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
              Bbm  D#           D#7
After jumpin' into Calico Creek
                      Bbm      C#     Fm
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
G#     C#                    G#
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Fm                         Bbm  G# C#  D# (let ring till G#)
Man I wish you'd just left me   alone
                   G#
Cause I was almost home

Verse 2

              C#
Then he said, I's just comin' round the barn,

Bout the time you grabbed my arm
G                  D#                 G#
When I heard momma holler son hurry up
      C#
I was close enough for my own nose
G# C#
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
    G           D#             G#
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

Pre-Chorus 2

C7                                  C#
Cane poles on the tailgate, bobbers blowin' in the wind
      C7                    C#            D#    D#7
Since July of 55, that's as close as I've been,

Chorus 2

                        D#   C#
Yeah I just climbed out of a cotton wood tree
                        G#
I was running from some honey bees

I said old man you're gonna freeze to death,

Let me drive you to the mission

He said boy if you'd left me alone
      D#
Right now I'd be fishin'
