Intro: D Bm A D
F#m Bm A
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
D
Then he'd have to go
F#m Bm A
Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone
That's the reason they guessed
D
He'd been cursed to roam
F#m Bm A
Came into town back before the war
Didn't even know what it was
D
He was looking for
F#m Bm A
Carried a tattered bag for his violin
It was full of lots of songs
D
Of places that he'd been
F#m Bm A
He talked real eeaassy, had a smiling way
To pass along to you
D
When his fiddle played
F#m Bm A
Making people drop their cares and woes
To hum out loud those tunes
D
That his fiddle howled
F#m Bm A
Till the people there began to join that sound
And everyone in town was laughing
D
Singing, dancing round
F#m
Like the fiddler's tune
Bm A
Was all they heard that night
As if some dream said
D
"All the world is right"
F#m Bm A
His fiddler's eye caught one beauty there
She had that rollin', flowin'
D
Golden kind of hair
F#m Bm A
He played for her as if she danced alone
Played his favorite songs
D
Ones he called his own
F#m Bm A
He played until she was the last to go
Stopped and packed his case
D
And said he'd take her home
F#m Bm
A D
F#m Bm A
All the nights that passed a child was born
All the years that passed
D
That love would keep them warm
F#m Bm A
All their lives they'd share a dream come true
All because she danced
D
While his fiddle tuned
F#m Bm A
My old man had a rounder's soul
He'd hear an old freight train
D
Then he'd have to go
F#m Bm A
All that I recall said when I was so young
There's no one else could really
D
Sing those songs he sung
Itu dia lirik dan chord lagu “My Old Man” yang dinyanyikan oleh John Denver.
