[Verse 1]
[D]My[C][Bb][A]
old man wore three -piece whistles,
he was never home for long
Drove a bus for
London
Transport, he knew where he belonged
Num[Bb]ber 1[F]8 down to
Eu[A]ston, [Bb]double -deck[F]er move -alo[D]ng,
[Bb]double [F]-decker [A]move [D]-along, [G]my [Em]old m[D]an
[A]Later on he drove a roller,
chauffeuring for foreign men
Dropped his
H's on occasion,
said good -bye me now and then
[Bb]Did the [F]crossword in the s[A]tandard, a[Bb]t the a[F]irport in the rain,[D]
[Bb]at the a[F]irport i[A]n the ra[D]in, my[G] o[Em]ld ma[D]n
[A]Wouldn't ever let his governors call him
Billy, he was proud
Personal reasons make a difference,
his last bus was allowed
Per[Bb]haps he [F]had to keep his [A]distance,
[Bb]made a rac[F]ket when[A] he ran [D]out
He [Bb]made [F]a racket when [A]he bowed
[D]My [G]old[Em] man[D]
[G]My [Em]old m[D]an
[A]My old man was fairly handsome
He smoked too many cigs
Lived in one room in
Victoria
He was tidy in his digs
[Bb]Had to h[F]ave an opera[A]tion
[Bb]When his [F]ulcer got too [D]big
[Bb]When [F]is
Osa [A]got to [D]pick [G]my [Em]old m[D]an?
[A]
[Bb][F][Bb][A][Bb][F][D][Bb]
[A]My [D]old[G] man[Em],
[D]sev[A]en years went out the window
We met as one to one,
died before we'd done much talking
Relations had begun,
[Bb]all the whil[F]e we thought about each othe[A]r
[Bb]All the [F]best mate [A]from your [D]son,
[Bb]all [F]the best mate from y[A]our [D]son
[G]My [Em]old m[D]an, [G]my o[Em]ld m[D]an[C][Bb][A]
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh
You
