The Old Man Down the Road(Chords)

	        
 (12 measures of Em)  
He take-a thunder from the mountain  
He take-a lightnin' from the sky  
             G  
He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees  
            Em  
He make the young girl's mama cry  
  

You got to hidey-hide  
You got to jump and run  
You got to hidey-hidey-hide  
    C       D            Em  
The old man   is down the road 
 
  
Verse 2:  
He got the voices speakin' riddles  
He got eyes as black as coal  
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide  
And he stands right in the road  
  
(chorus, with 'away' added to end of 2nd line)  
  
(instrumental)  
  
Verse 3:  
He make the river call your lover  
He make the barking of the hound  
Put a shadow 'cross the window  
When the old man comes around  
  
(chorus; this time, add 'again' to end of 2nd line  
   and sing 4th line twice)  
  
(play Em continuously and fade)
