[Intro] [F] [G]  [C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [C]



[C]Now and [Em]then an old [Am]friend of mine [F]I've not seen for some[G7]time
[C]Will stop [Em]by and [Am]ask me where've I’ve [F]been what's on my [G7]mind
They [F]wonder why I'm not [G7]drinking and still [C]painting this [Em]old town [Am]red
[F]I tell them I'm serving [G7]Jesus now and the [F]old [G7]man is [C]dead[C7]

{soc}
And the [F]man you see [G7]before you [C]may look a [Em]lot the [Am]same
[F]I may wear the [G7]same clothes [C]and have the same old [Am]name
[F]But your looking on the [G7]outside if you could [C]see in[Em]side in[Am]stead
[F]You would see a [G7]brand new man cause the [F]old [G7]man is [C]dead

[Interlude] [F] [G]  [C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [C]




I used to [Em]live such a [Am]wicked life [F]I had no hope in [G7]sight
[C]I was [Em]lost in [Am]darkness [F]searching for the [G7]light
[F]Then one night in a little [G7]church 
After [C]hearing what the [Em]preacher [Am]said
[F]I gave my life to [G7]Jesus and the [F]old [G7]man was [C]dead

{soc}
And the [F]man you see [G7]before you [C]may look a [Em]lot the [Am]same
[F]I may wear the [G7]same clothes [C]and have the same old [Am]name
[F]But your looking on the [G7]outside if you could [C]see in[Em]side in[Am]stead
[F]You would see a [G7]brand new man cause the [F]old [G7]man is [C]dead
