Don?t Let The Old Man In Mate chords by John Williamson
Verse 1
G
The old mate was lying there,
C
G
he was grey and frail.
At least he was going to
D
die peacefully.
G
He'd been a real good mate,
C
G
someone I could trust.
So I asked if he had some
D
G
C
wise words for me.
G
He said, don't let the old man in, mate,
C
G
don't let the old man in
He'll lead you down that
D
road of misery
G
Throw away that rocking chair
C
G
and get back on your feet
D
G
You use it or you lose it, just like me
Well, I grabbed his hand,
C
G
it was thick and hard and cracked
From axes and hammers
D
and old machinery
G
I said, you're full of shit old mate
C
G
You gave it all you had
And you're looking bloody
D
G
fit for ninety -three
He said, don't let the old man in, mate
C
G
Don't let the old man in,
he'll lead you down that
D
road of misery
G
Throw away that rocking chair
C
G
and get back on your feet
D
Use it or you'll lose it,
G
C
G
just like me
D
G
C
G
D
G
Well, passed away, and I won't forget
C
G
How hard the old folks worked
We're gettin' soft, I reckon,
you'll agree
D
G
Maybe that's a good thing,
C
only time will
G
But I won't forget his
D
G
wise words for me
He said, don't let the old man in, baby
C
G
Don't let the old man in
He'll lead you down that
D
road of misery
G
Throw away that rocking chair
C
G
And get back on your feet
D
G
C

Use it or you'll lose it, just like me
Don't let the old man in, mate,
C
G
don't let the old man in
He'll lead you down that
D
road of misery
G
Throw away that rocking chair
C
G
and get back on your feet
D
G
C
G
Use it or you'll lose it, just like me
D
Use it or you'll lose it, just like me
