VERSE:
I had my rent[F#]-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
[E]Late for my plan[B]e again[F#]
[F#]Had to stop for some gas at this country store
[E]That's when I saw t[B]he old man[F#]
He was kick[D#m]ed back workin' on a big R C[B] [C#]
[D#m]Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV[B]
[F#]Took him awhile [C#]to even notice m[B]e
[G#m]Sittin' there I thought to myself[G#m7/C#] [C#]
CHORUS:
Old man ([F#]Old Man)
You got one up on [D#m]me
[B]I'm still lookin' for my shad[C#]y tree
With your two g[D#m]as pumps and your color TV[G#]
Your sat[B]isfied as you can be[G#]
Old Ma[G#m]n (Old Man)
I [C#]guess you got one up on me[F#] [D#m] [F#m] [D#m]
VERSE:
Well he fina[F#]lly strolled over with a big 'ol smile
[E]Said "How ya doin, [B]son?"[F#]
[F#]I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
...'cause I'm[E] really in a[B] run."[F#]
He sa[D#m]id "What's your hurry on a day like th[B]is?....[C#]
If you mo[D#m]ve too fast, there's a lot you[B]'ll miss.....
[F#]If you wanna see [C#]what the good lif[B]e is.....
Just ge[G#m]t out and visit awhile.[G#m7/C#]"[C#]
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
[D#m]Don't remember just what it was
The ol[B]d man said to me[C#]
[D#m]...But I forgot about catchin' the plane
And op[G#m]ened up the big R. [F#/A#] C.[B] [C#]
REPEAT CHORUS
...[C#]Old Man[G#m]
[C#]..You got one up on me [F#] Old [D#m]Man
