[Verse 1]
D A Bm G D A Bm G
I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing
D A Bm G D A Bm G
Young folks don't pay me no mind
D A Bm G D A Bm G
But in my day I sure was something
D A Bm G D A Bm G
Before I felt the heavy hand of time
[Verse 2]

I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory
D A Bm G D A Bm G
Time to lay these burdens down
D A Bm G D A Bm G
Had enough of this old world of worry
D A Bm G D A Bm G
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown
[Verse 3]
D A Bm G D A Bm G
I will make my way across the fields of cotton
D A Bm G D A Bm G
And wade through muddy waters one last time
D A Bm G
And in my dreams I come out clean
Bm A G
When I reach the other side
Em G
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die
[Solo]
[Verse 4]
A
I've got one last thing to do
G
One more mile before I'm through
A
Casting off these earthly chains
G A
Going where there's no more pain
[Solo]
[Outro]

And wade through muddy waters one last time
D A Bm G
And in my dreams I come out clean
Bm A G
When I reach the other side
Em G
West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die
