The Old Guys

Intro: D 


[Verso 1]
 
D 
God forbid you go before I do 
A/C#     Bm7 
  That'd be the start of the hell that I'd go through 
Am     G 
I'd be three sheets deep in Boston, maybe lost in Baton Rouge 
D                          Asus4  A 
God forbid you go before I do 
 


[Refrão]
 
N.C.       G 
I'd be the possum in the ground, I'd be Whitley on the brown 
           D 
He stopped loving her today, I'm no stranger to the rain 
       G 
I'd be Merle locked in San Quentin, I'd have a real damn hard time quittin' 
         D 
I'd have no reason and no why, I'd be lonely as the crow flies 
         Em 
I'd be a goner on a stool 
D        G                        D 
  With a jukebox and a few of the old guys...Oh, oh 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
Next to some broke heart out getting drunk 
A/C#  Bm7 
  I'd tell him 'bout the girl I got to love 
    Am      G 
And how I'd never find another and I sure wouldn't want to 
A 
God forbid you go a single day before I do 
 


[Refrão]
 
           G 
I'd be the possum in the ground, I'd be Whitley on the brown 
           D 
He stopped loving her today, I'm no stranger to the rain 
       G 
I'd be Merle locked in San Quentin, I'd have a real damn hard time quittin' 
         D 
I'd have no reason and no why, I'd be lonely as the crow flies 
         Em 
I'd be a goner on a stool 
D        G                        D 
  With a jukebox and a few of the old guys...Oh 
 


[Ponte]
 
         G 
I'd be a long slide on a steel guitar 
        A 
Another long night in another bar 
 


[Refrão]
 
           G 
I'd be the possum in the ground, I'd be Whitley on the brown 
           D 
He stopped loving her today, I'm no stranger to the rain 
       G 
I'd be Merle locked in San Quentin, I'd have a real damn hard time quittin' 
         D 
I'd have no reason and no why, I'd be lonely as the crow flies 
         Em 
I'd be a goner on a stool 
D        G                          D 
  With a jukebox and a few...of the old guys...
