My Old Man Chords & Lyrics - Steve Goodman

[E]I miss my old [B7]man tonig[E]ht
[E]I wish he was [B7]here with[E] me
[A]With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars
He could look you in the eye, and [E]sell you a car
[E]That’s not a[B7]n easy thing t[E]o do, but no one e[A]ver knew
[A]A more charming creature on [E]this earth
[E]Than my [B7]old [E]man

[E]He was a pilot[B7] in the b[E]ig war
[E]In the US Army[B7] Air Corp[E]
[A]In a C-47, with a heavy load
Carried combat cargo o’er Burma [E]Road
[E]And after they[B7] dropped the b[E]omb, he came home [A]and married mom
[A]And not too long after that [E]
[E]He was m[B7]y ol[E]d man

[E]And all the fi[B7]ghts that[E] we had
[E]When my brothe[B7]r and I g[E]ot him mad
[A]He’d get all choked up, and start to shout
I knew what was coming, and I tune[E]d him out
[E]And now the ol[B7]d man is gone,[E] and I’d give al[A]l I own
[A]Just to hear what he said, w[E]hen I wasn’t listing
[E]To my ol[B7]d ma[E]n

[E]I miss the old[B7] man toni[E]ght
[E]I can almost s[B7]ee his fa[E]ce
[A]He was always trying to watch his weight
His heart only made it to fifty-ei[E]ght
[E]For the first [B7]time since he [E]died, late last ni[A]ght I cried
[A]I was wondering when I was g[E]onna go and do that
[E]For my o[B7]ld m[E]an
