I Still Sing the Old Songs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Grandpa I've been [G]thinking
about [D]you lately
Wondering if you'd [G]found
your peace of [A]mind
[D]I guess you'd be [G]proud
to know your [D]grandsons
[G]Never crossed that [Em]Mason Dixon [A]line
[G]And I still sing t[A]he old songs
that you [D]taught me
[G]And I still pray to J[A]esus now and[D] then
And [G]just like you I [A]wish
that he would [D]save me
To [G]see the day the [Em]south will rise [A]again

[Verse 2]
[D]Daddy wore his [G]Purple Heart [D]so proudly
Long before I [G]turned into a [A]man
[D]Buried with our [G]flag across his [D]casket
[G]I was still too y[Em]oung to unders[A]tand
[G]And I still sing the o[A]ld songs
that you [D]taught me
[G]And I still pray to J[A]esus now and[D] then
And [G]just like you I [A]wish
that he would [D]save me
To [G]see the day the [Em]south will rise [A]again

[Verse 3]
[D]Mama spent her [G]last years in the [D]garden
While I took my [G]turn behind a [A]gun
[D]Lord I'd give my [G]life to find the [D]freedom [G]lost
within [Em]the old songs that [A]you sung
[G]And I still sing [A]the old songs
that you [D]taught me
[G]And I still pray to J[A]esus now and[D] then
And [G]just like you I [A]wish
that he would [D]save me
To [G]see the day the [Em]south will rise [A]again
