D A Bm G D


[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]

D  A              Bm G          D   A  Bm  G  
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]

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
