[INTRO]
E x 2 bars
[Talking]
[E]The old man's hair was white, his eyes looked tired
He drank his beer at the table all alone
But he smiled when I spoke to him, so I sat down for awhile
I wound up sitting there the whole night long
'Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mind
So I just sat there and listened, and I was glad to take the time
[VERSE 1]
And he said, "I saw [E]Jimmy Rodgers [E7]yodel on the [A]stage
And I saw [B7]Hank when they walked him to [E]his grave
I saw a country boy from [E7]Memphis change the [A]world with rock and roll
And [B7]these old eyes have seen it [E]all"
[VERSE 2]
And he said, "I saw [E]friends of mine on [E7]foreign soil [A]die proud
I saw [B7]things over there, son, that I still can't talk about [E]
I saw a crazy man named [E7]Hitler and his [A]army rise and fall
Yes, [B7]these old eyes have seen it [E]all
[CHORUS]
[A]These old [B7]eyes have seen it [E]all
Now the [A]hands of time are writing on the [B7]wall
[A]Telling me I [B7]won't have long to [E]wait until my [E7]Jesus [A]call
[B7]These old eyes have seen [E]it all [C7]
[VERSE 3]
I saw [F]my sweet Mary [F7]love me, fifty [Bb]years"
With a [C7]trembling hand, he wiped away a tear [F]
He said, "My memories of [F7]Mary are the [Bb]sweetest I recall
And [C7]these old eyes have seen it [F]all
[CHORUS]
[Bb]These old [C7]eyes have seen it [F]all
They saw a [Bb]man walk on the moon and come back [C7]home
And I [Bb]know it won't be [C7]very long until I [F]hear my [F7]Jesus [Bb]call
[C7]These old eyes have seen [F]it all
Son, [C7]these old eyes have seen it [F]all
