Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
I've seen the (D major) old man sittin'
'round
The courthouse square back
home in town (G major)
Talking bout the big (E minor) war back
in (C major) (A major) (D major) 1943
Sayin' how much good it's done

Verse 2
Medals gleamin' in (D major) the sun (G major)
Cussin' at my long (E minor) hair
And my talk (C major) of bein' free (A major)
Their vision (G major) like their battle scars
Verse 3
Of (D major) other wars has faded
Like the colors (A major) on the ribbons
From the battles that they've won (D major)
If (G major) there's one thing I've
learned it's this
Verse 4
You (D major) just can't shake hand (B minor) s with a fist
(G major) And I once did my talkin' (E minor) with a gun (A major)
And, (G major) old man, I know what you've seen
But (D major) yours is not the (B minor) only dream (G major)
I have to (E minor) believe
Verse 5
in something (D major) (C major) more
Than yester (A major) day (G major)
Let it die, just like the past (D major)
I believe there's (B minor) hope at last
Verse 6
(C major) Old man, did you (E minor) ever have to pray (A major)
Old man, can you show me the (D major) way
Verse 7
He (D major) shakes his head from time to time
And rambles somewhere
in his mind (G major)
Mumbling 'bout the Civil (E minor) War
And (C major) how we should have won
(A major)
Verse 8
(D major) Settin' up his battle plans
On checkerboards at his
command (G major)
Watchin' all his gal (E minor) lant kings
(D major) Go falling (C major) one by (A major) one
Verse 9
(D major)
And son he'd say there's not much time
For you to straighten out your mind (G major)
But you never listen (C major) to
The things I try to say
(A major)
Verse 10
(D major)
And I just turn my head and cry
Never understanding why (G major)
He's set up that (E minor) checkerboard (D major) (G major) (A major)
When he knew I couldn't play
