With skin as tough as a burlap sack

He had his second heart attack
C                         G
Last summer but hes still goin

G
Theres a melancholy in his eyes
G/B
For all of you who care enough
Cadd9                       G
To wonder why, well, let me tell you

Em                     Asus
It all started back in 1957
Cadd9                            D        Cadd9
When ole Walt Disney took him by surprise
G/B       D       Cadd9  G
Thats the day Old Yeller died

G
Well, that twelve year old became a man
G/B                              Cadd9
Eleven years too soon in Vietnam
                     G
With his best friend Tommy

G
They were tough as nails and southern born
G/B                                   Cadd9
And awfully proud to wear that uniform
                G
Then things got scary

Em                           Asus
On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven

The same year the world was taken by surprise
G/B       D          Cadd9    G
Thats the day Martin Luther died

   D                
So before you judge him you need to know
Cadd9
Theres more to that old man than what you
G                                 D
See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand

G
You heard about his younger years
Cadd9
But dont leave now theres more to hear
G                                       D
That might explain the pain in that old man

G
How quick America forgot
G/B
About the only war theyd lost
Cadd9                             G
And life goes on, thats what they tell ya

G
No ticker tape no reason why
G/B
Might have never seen the end of that chapter
Cadd9                        G
Of his life, if he hadnt met Betty

They got married in December 1980
Cadd9                               D    
No doubt it was the best day of his life
Cadd9 G/B      D     Cadd9  G
Two days before John Lennon died

  D                
So before you judge him you need to know
Cadd9
Theres more to that old man than what you
G                                 D
See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand

D  
Now weve covered chapter two
Cadd9
I can almost see a change in you
G                                     D
Theres still a lot of life in that old man

   G
He hadnt had a drink in at least a year
G/B
To tell the truth Im shocked hes here
Cadd9                      D
But as long as he wants em, Im gonna pour em

       G
Before you came in I asked him why
        G/B                                      Cadd9
He just raised his fragile head and wiped his eyes
            G
And then he told me

Em                                    Asus
Ive seen so much in my life Ive never questioned
     Cadd9                         D        Cadd9
This time the good Lord took me by surprise
G/B    D     Cadd9 G  
Yesterday my Betty died

G    
With skin as tough as a burlap sack
G/B
He had his second heart attack
Cadd9                         G
Last summer but hes still goin
