[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]an old man,
my time has come
Never [D]had much years for anyone
About to [Em]close the door, get the music on
[D]Been that way since I was
young
[G][D][Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]
I turn the [G]radio up and sing along
[D]Burning whirlwind and
I never wore some
[Em]Left my town and away in the world
[D]Harvard banned that music
girl
[G][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]Do you re[G]member?
Re[Bm]member Steve?
Do you re[A]member?
[Asus4]Yes, I do, I will
[D]

[Verse 4]
Got [G]Radcliff wife who had a son
And I [D]kept to myself, kept the radio on
My boy [Em]left when he could,
took off on his own
[D]Never looked back,

[Interlude 1]
he's his father's son
[G][D][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]50 years later my boy's back home
We [D]sit together with the radio on
I can [Em]hardly hear, mostly gone
[D]Music's in my head,
I sing along
[G][D][Em]

[Verse 7]
He [G]holds my hand, stays by the bed
[D]Same things never have been said
I'm my [Em]father's son, he is mine
Hope [D]it's not too late for me
and him this time
