Old Man Took

America

Composed by: Dewey Bunnell
key: Bm Tuning: E A D G B E
F#m7

        F#m7
For the last time
          Bm7
I watched     Old Man Took bait his hook
         F#m7
And then throw his line
     Em7
Pick up his wine

       F#m7
He's a friend of mine
          Bm7
Known him     all my life and his wife
           F#m7
'Neath the swayin' pine
        Em7           F#m7
And the clingin' vine

Just before he left

[Chorus]

        Bm7
He said now young man
Em7                          Bm7
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Em7                       Bm7
Please make sure to say a word at night
    Em7                       F#m7
For all your brothers feeling      blue
Bm7         F#m7
Blue, blue,      blue
Em7
All the time

[Verse 2]

     F#m7
So I stayed awhile
        Bm7
Took my     tea alone, called it home
       F#m7
Like a playing child
Em7
Running wild

        F#m7
Heard a bluejay call
        Bm7
Said we     got you now

Hope you bow
       F#m7
To the old man's word
    Em7            F#m7
I'm sure you heard

Just before he left

[Chorus]

        Bm7
He said now young man
Em7                          Bm7
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Em7                       Bm7
Please make sure to say a word at night
    Em7                       F#m7
For all your brothers feeling      blue
Bm7         F#m7
Blue, blue,      blue
Em7
All the time

Bm7
Now young man
Em7                          Bm7
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Em7                       Bm7
Please make sure to say a word at night
    Em7                       Bm7  Em7
For all your brothers feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue
        Bm7  Em7
Feeling blue...
