[D]
I remember old Dan Cotton, [G] so old that he'd forgotten [Em] just how long he'd been floating
[A]
through this [D] life.
He said that he'd fought against the Indians, [G] and his daddy was an old line trapper, [Em] and
he'd think that once [A] or twice he'd had [D] a whack.
I used to go down by the river after school [G] when old Dan was relaxing with a fish pole,
and I'd ask him what he could [A]
offer a young, young [D] boy.
Dan would start a reminiscing, [G] sharing his words of wisdom, and [Em] I remember I used to
[A]
listen to him [D] with joy.
Old Dan, something happening to you, [G] yes, old Dan, something happening to you, [Em] I hope
that you're fine [A] and fine, what you're looking [D] for.
Old Dan, something happening to [G] you, yes, old Dan, something happening to [Em] you, I hope
that you're fine and fine, [A] what you're [D] looking for.
Then one day we couldn't find old Dan, [G] and for a while he didn't come around, [Em] and I heard
from the folks that [A] had gone to the [D] hills alone.
Well I admit I was a little bit worried, [G] because Dan was so old and just a little foolhardy,
[Em] but I knew in my [A] heart that he'd soon be a coming [D] back home.
[D] [G] Old Dan, something happening to you, [D] yes, old Dan, something happening to [Em] you, I hope
that you're fine and [A] fine, what you're looking [D] for.
[G] Old Dan, something happening to you, [D] yes, old Dan, something happening to [Em] you, I hope
that you're fine and fine, [A] what you're looking [D] for.
Then came the message from old Doc Jones, [G] the dance time had finally come, [Em] so I rushed
to his side [A] in the shed, and he [D] called home.
Inside my heart I was a feeling so sad, but [G] when I looked into that old man's eyes, [Em] I
felt such a peace, [A] because I knew that he was going [D] home.
He couldn't really speak, because he was now so weak, [G] but he managed a tiny smile, [Em] and
in a glance I knew [A] that he'd found what he was looking [D] for.
I knew what he'd found in the woods that day, because [G] when I looked at him the very last
night, [Em] he was a face of [A] a man [D] of the Lord.
[G] Old Dan, something happening to you, [D] yes, old Dan, something happening to you, [Em] I hope
that you're fine and [A] fine, what you're looking [D] for.
[G] Old Dan, something happening to you, [D] yes, old Dan, something happening to you, [Em] you're
still the old Dan that I [A] love, but for something [D] more.
