SONG:   THE OLD MAN SAID
ARTIST: AARON WATSON

NOTE: When I tab a song such as this I indicate what I call a "walk up'
      or a "walk down" from one chord to another in parts of the song
      to show in a chord diagram. You will hear where those occur in the
      song (mainly in the verses)and the notes played are based off those
      chords.
      Again, this is NOT A TAB of the song where every single note is
      shown but just a CHORD tab of the song. Please keep that in mind
      when playing and rating this song. Thanks

INTRO:
F  C  C  Fmaj7  Em  Am G F

F G C  C Am F  F G F C G

VERSE:
         F   G   C
And the old man said
         C          Am      F
"Son, I don't have long to live"
    F      G          C  Am      G
He slowly raised his cup and he took a sip

         F   G   C
And the old man said
    C        Am        F
"I fought a dang good fight"
   F        G     F         C         G
So I pulled up a chair and sat there half the night

CHORUS:
         F
And the old man said

"Don't take a single day for granted
      C
Love like there's no tomorrow

Tend to the seeds you planted

      F
Be a good friend and a brother
           Em                 C
Love your children and their mother
    Am            Em              F   F
And die by those living words in red"

         F   G   C
And the old man said

VERSE:
        C            Am      F
"Money really ain't worth a dime"
          F       G      C
Then gave me his golden watch
        Am       G
Said, "It's all borrowed time"

         F   G   C
And the old man said
            C     Am     F
"If I could do it all again
           F         G      F         Am          G
I'd spend more time loving her and a little more time fishing"

CHORUS:
         F
And the old man said

"Don't take a single day for granted
      C
Love like there's no tomorrow

Tend to the seeds you planted

      F
Be a good friend and a brother
           Em                 C
Love your children and their mother
    Am            Em              F   F
And die by those living words in red"

         F   G   C
And the old man said

INSTRUMENTAL:
C Am F
F G Am C G  G

BREAK:
             F
Don't build walls around your heart
       C
Never shackle up your soul
     Dm7                                 C
Love is the only thing that you'll take with you when you go

       F
Always be quick to forgive
         C
Forever slow to throw stones
     Dm7                                       G
Just like a flash, life is a dash between the girth and the bones

OUTRO:
         F   G   C
And the old man said
     C     Am       F
"Son I can see the light"
 F       G       F    C      G
Then he took my hand and he squeezed it tight

          F         G       C
The last thing the old man said
            C       Am        F
"Don't you dare be scared of death
      F    G     F      C
It's only the beginning"
        G
And he took his last breath (breath)
