[D]
For the last time, [F#m]
[Bm] I watched old man to bait his hook [F#m] and then throw his line.
[Em] Pick up [G] his wine, [F#m] he's a friend of mine.
[Bm] Known him all my life and his wife, [F#m] need the swaying pine [Em] and the clanking vine.
[F#m] Just before he left, he [Bm] said, now young man, [E] take good care, don't [Bm] let the bugs bite.
[E] Please make sure to [Bm] say a word at night, [Em] for all your brothers [F#m] feeling blue, [Bm] blue, [F#m] blue, blue [Em] all the time.
So [F#m] I stayed a while, took [Bm] my tea alone, called it home [F#m] like a play child.
[Em] Running wild, [F#m] heard a blue jay call, [Bm] said we got you now, hope you bow [F#m] to the old man's word.
[Em] I'm sure you heard, [F#m] just before he left, he [Bm] said, now young man, [Em] take good care,
don't let [Bm] the bugs bite.
Please make sure to say a word at night, [Em] for all your brothers [F#m] feeling blue,
[Bm] blue, blue, [F#m] blue [Em] all the time.
