Capo 2

Intro: D A Bm G D 

D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
Young folks don't pay me no mind 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
But in my day I sure was something 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
Before I felt the heavy hand of time 

D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
Time to lay these burdens down 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
Had enough of this old world of worry 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown 

D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
I will make my way across the fields of cotton 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
And wade through muddy waters one last time 
D  A              Bm G          stuff happens 
And in my dreams I come out clean 
D       A         G 
When I reach the other side 
                Em         G     
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die 

Solo 

A 
I've got one last thing to do 
G 
One more mile before I'm through 
A 
Casting off these earthly chains 
G                A 
Going where there's no more pain 

Solo 

D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
I will make my way across the fields of cotton 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
And wade through muddy waters one last time 
D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G   
And in my dreams I come out clean 
D       A         G 
When I reach the other side 
                Em         G     
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die
