Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (B flat major) (F major) (A minor) (C major) (G major) (F major) The (C major) old man (G major) sits
on a chair (G minor) in (F major) my lounge room
(C major) His face has (G major) seen years,
His (F major) eyes have shed tears
(C major) He's been through (G major) a lifetime,
His (B flat major) friends have (F major) all gone
He (C major) waits in (G major) his chair as I (F major) walk down the stair
Verse 2
He (C major) look up (G major) at me and his (B flat major) face forms (F major) a smile
His (C major) eyes fill (G major) with life as he (F major) notices me
His (C major) body (G major) is ancient, yet (G minor) he looks (F major) so happy
He (C major) opens (G major) his mouth and greets (F major) me with glee
Verse 3
I (G major) look at the old man, I smile (C major) politely
I (G major) shake his leathery hand (F major)
He (G major) gets to his to feet and I (C major) look in his eye
I (D minor) open my mouth and ad
(G major) dress the old man
Verse 4
(A minor) How did you get in my (E minor) house, old man
(F major) I don't know who you are (C major) (E major)
You seem (A minor) like a very sweet, (E minor) nice, old man
But (F major) I don't know who you (G major) are
Verse 5
The (C major) old man (G major) laughs and calls (B flat major) me (F major) Tobias
He (C major) thinks it's a (G major) game when
I say (F major) my real name
He (C major) asks how (G major) my wife is
and (G minor) how are (F major) my children
I (G major) tell him I'm single, He laughs (F major) it away
Verse 6
He (G major) walks to the kitchen
and he (C major) puts on the kettle
He (G major) asks me if I want some (F major) tea
I (G major) tell him okay and the wa (C major) ter starts boiling
He (D minor) fills up my cup and
(G major) hands it to me
Verse 7
I'm sorry (A minor) but that isn't (E minor) milk, old man
(F major) I still don't know who you are (C major) (E major)
You've (A minor) put mayonnaise
in my (E minor) tea old man
And (F major) I don't know who you are (G major)
Verse 8
(G major) The old man stops,
I think (E flat major) I've up (F major) set him
His smile (C major) disappears, (G major)
His (F major) eyes fill with tears
(F minor) He (C major) puts down (E major) the teacup,
looks (A minor) up at me slowly
And (C major) says "Dear Toby,
(F major) I Hate those Japs."
Verse 9
(G major) I wander upstairs and
I fetch (C major) some trousers
He (G major) puts them on in the (F major) usual way
He (G major) tells me that he doesn't
(C major) know where he's going
I (D minor) say there's a room and (G major) that he can stay
Verse 10
(A minor) You can live in my (E minor) house old man
(F major) I don't care who you are (C major) (E major)
(A minor) You're pretty racist but funny (E minor) old man
And (F major) I quite like who you are (G major)
Verse 11
Yes (F major) I quite like (G major) who you are.
(G minor) (F major) (C major)
