I Still Sing The Old Songs(Cavaco chords)

	        
G                 C                 G 
Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately 

                   C                   D7 
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind 

  G            C                  G 
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons 

C                              D7 
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line 


      C              D7                 G 
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

      C             D7            G 
And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

    C               D7                 G 
And just like you I wish that He would save me 

   C                               D7 
To see the day the south will rise again 


G              C               G 
Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly 

               C             D7 
Long before he turned into a man 

G               C               G 
Buried with our flag across his casket 

C                             D7 
I was still too young to understand 


      C              D7                 G 
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

      C             D7            G 
And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

    C               D7                 G 
And just like you I wish that He would save me 

   C                               D7 
To see the day the south will rise again 


G              C                 G 
Mama spent her last years in the garden 

                       C               D7 
While brother took his turn behind the gun 

G                C                G 
Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom 

C                                  D7 
Lost within the old songs that you sung 


      C              D7                 G 
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

      C             D7            G 
And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

    C               D7                 G 
And just like you I wish that He would save me 

   C                               D7 
To see the day the south will rise again
