    Verse 1
    My 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    not 

    a mover 
    nor 
    a shaker, 

    just 
    a 
    dreamer; I'm 
    a 
    lot 
    like 
    him. 

    He 
    used 
    to 
    talk 
    a 
    lot 
    about 
    "the 
    old 
    days, 

    mister" 

    when 
    the times 
    was 
    tough 

    and 
    the money 
    was 
    thin. 

    He 
    used 
    to 
    go 
    fishin' 
    'bout 
    once 
    a year, 


    laughed 
    himself 
    silly 
    on 
    a 
    couple 
    of beers, 

    tell 
    an old 
    story 
    to 
    a willin' 
    ear 

    and 
    then 
    he'd 
    turn 
    right 

    around 
    and 
    tell 
    it 
    again. 

    Verse 2
    My 
    old 
    man, 

    talkin' 
    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    He 
    was 
    there 
    at 
    the start 

    with 
    a 
    willin' 
    heart, 

    he 
    was 
    there 
    when 
    the world 
    began. 

    My 
    old 
    man, 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    I'm 
    just 
    sittin' 
    here 
    thinkin' 

    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    Verse 3

    My 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    a 
    "daddy" 
    'til 

    I 
    got 
    too 
    cool 
    to 
    call 
    him 
    that 
    anymore. 

    He took 
    my 
    momma 
    to 

    the 
    grange 
    hall 
    dance 

    and 
    he 
    waltzed 
    her 
    across 
    the floor. 

    He 
    took 
    us 
    to town 
    on 
    Friday 
    night, 

    used 
    to chew 
    tobacco 

    when 
    he 
    got 
    uptight. 

    Just 
    a sit
    tin' 
    and 
    a spittin' 

    in 
    the fading 
    light 

    in 
    the car 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    the grocery 
    store. 

    Verse 4
    My 
    old 
    man, 

    talkin' 
    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    He 
    was 
    there 
    at 
    the start 

    with 
    a 
    willin' 
    heart, 

    he 
    was 
    there 
    when 
    the world 
    began. 

    My 
    old 
    man, 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    I'm 
    just 
    sittin' 
    here 
    thinkin' 

    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    my 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    a 

    draggin'- in- 
    the- pants 
    man 

    when 
    he 
    got 
    home 
    from 
    the 
    mill. 

    Between 
    the chores 
    and 
    the weeds 

    and 
    the 
    kids 
    to feed 

    you 
    know 
    he 
    never 
    had 
    a 
    minute 
    to kill. 

    But 
    he 
    always 
    had 
    a twinkle 

    in 
    his 
    old 
    grey 
    eyes, 

    felt 
    a 
    lot 
    better 
    when 
    he 

    worked 
    outside. 

    Worked 
    right 
    up 
    'til 
    the day 
    he 
    died 

    and 
    I bet 
    the Lord's 
    got 

    him 
    workin' 
    still. 

    Verse 6
    My 
    old 
    man, 
    talkin' 
    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    He 
    was 
    there 
    at 
    the start 

    with 
    a willin' 
    heart, 

    he 
    was 
    there 
    when 
    the world 
    began. 

    My 
    old 
    man, 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    I'm 
    just 
    sittin' 
    here 
    thinkin' 

    'bout 
    my 
    old 
    man. 

    Verse 7

    My 
    old 
    man, 
    talkin' 
    'bout 
    my

    man. 

    He 
    was 
    there 
    at 
    the start 

    with 
    a willin' 
    heart, 

    he 
    was 
    there 
    when 
    the world 
    began. 

    My 
    old 
    man, 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    I'm 
    just

    old 
    man.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
