Key: D
Introduction: D A Bm G D
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
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
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
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
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
