[A] [D]
[A] [E]
[A] The tears have all been [D] shed now, [E] we've said our last [A] goodbyes
[F#] His soul's been blessed, [Bm] he's laid to rest
[B] And it's now I [E] feel alone
He [A] was more than just [D] my father my [E] teacher
my best [A] friend
[F#] He'll still be heard in [B] the [Bm] tunes we shared [B] when I play them [E] on my own
[F#m]
[E] [F#m] [E] [D] I never will [A] forget him
For [D] he made me [A] what I am
[D] Though he may be gone, [A] memories [E] linger [F#m] on
[Bm] And I miss [E] him, [A] the old man
[D] [A]
[E] [A] As a boy, he'd take [D] me walking [E] my mountain
field [A] and stream
And [F#] he'd show me things [Bm] not known to kings [E] and [B] secret between him [E] and me
like [A] the colors
on a [D] pheasant
As [E] he rises
in [D] the [A] dawn
Or [F#] how to fish
[Bm] I'll make a wish [B] beside
[G#m] [B] a [E] fairy tree
[F#m] [E] I [D] never will [A] forget him
For he [D] made me what I [A]
am
[D] Though he may be gone, [A] memories [E] linger [F#m] on
[Bm] And I miss [E] him, [A] the old man
[D] [A]
[E] [A] I thought he'd live [D] forever
He [E] seemed so big and [A] strong
[F#] But the minutes fly
[E] The [Bm] years roll by
[B] for a father [E] and a son
[A] And suddenly
when it [D] happened
There [E] was so much left unsaid
[A] [F#] No second chance
[Bm] to tell him
[B] for everything [E] he'd done
[F#m] [G#m] [F#m] [E] Oh, [D] I never will [A] forget him
[D] For he made me what I [A] am
[D] Though he may be gone, [A] memories linger [F#m] on
[Bm] God, I miss him
[E] The old [A] man
