[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
And the [G]old [A]man [D]said,
"Son, [A]I don't have [G]long to live"
He slowly [A]raised his [G]cup [D]and he [A]took a sip
And [G]the old [A]man [D]said,
"I've [G]fought a dang good fight"
So I pulled [A]up [G]a chair and sat
there [A]half the night

[Verse 2]
And the [G]old man said,
"Don't take a single day for granted
Love [D]like there's no tomorrow
Tend to the seeds you planted
Be a [G]good friend and a brother
Love your [F#m]children and their mother
And [Bm]die by those l[F#m]iving
words [G]in red"
And the old [A]man [D]said

[Verse 3]
"Money really ain't worth [G]a dime"
Then gave me his [A]golden watch, [G]said,
"It's all [A]borrowed time"
And the [G]old [A]man [D]said,
"If I could [A]do it [G]all again
I'd spend more time [A]loving [G]her
and a little more [A]time fishing"
And [G]the old

[Verse 4]
man said,
"Don't take a single day for granted
Love [D]like there's no tomorrow
Tend to the seeds you planted
Be a [G]good friend and a brother
Love your [D]children and their mother
And [Bm]die by those l[F#m]iving
words [G]in red"
And the old [A]man [D]said[A][D][G]
[A][Bm][D][A][G][A]

[Verse 5]
Don't build [G]walls around your heart
Never [D]shackle up your soul
Love [Em]is the only thing that you'll take
[D]with you when you go
Always [G]be quick to forgive,
forever [D]slow to throw stones
Just [Em]like a flash,
life is a dash between the [A]birth and the bones

[Verse 6]
And the [G]old [A]man [D]said, "Son,
I can see the [G]light"
Then [A]he took my hand [D]and
[A]he squeezed it tight
The last [G]thing the [A]old man [D]said
"Don't you [A]dare [G]be scared of death
It's only [A]the be[G]ginning"
[D]And he took his[A] last breath
