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