Mean Old Man(Chords)

	        Intro: C  Dm  C  Dm 


Verse 1:
       Dm            Dm 
Empty promises I given 
        C                 Dm 
Hollow heart beats in my chest 
           G                Dm 
And every word of sterling silver 
               C   G                 Dm 
Stirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast 


Verse 2:
         Dm 
Still untouched by ties a-binding 
       C                     Dm 
Goin where the Gulf breeze blows 
            G                Dm 
No ring of gold around your finger 
            C     G              Dm 
No ring of brass run through my nose 



C                 Dm 
Headlong for the wall now honey 
 C               Dm 
Still coming up like a rose 

                   F 
Dead still in the garden 
 C                    Dm 
Waiting for the reveille 

     C             Dm                C             Dm 
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes 

                          F                   C          G     Dm 
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me 



Verse 3:
          Dm 
Hear the song she sang in darkness 
          C                  Dm 
Tearful, fair, and free and fine 
            G              Dm 
You the one she softly whispers 
      C   G          Dm 
My canaaaary in the mine 



C                 Dm 
Headlong for the wall now honey 
 C               Dm 
Still coming up like a rose 

                   F 
Dead still in the garden 
 C                    Dm 
Waiting for the reveille 

     C             Dm                C             Dm 
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me

Verse 4:
        Dm                   Dm 
I met a man, pale gray with wisdom 
         C                 Dm 
Told me faith will come collect 
               G                 Dm 
Hard tempered steel bites at my ankles 
             C    G           Dm 
Soft cotton rove burns at my neck

Headlong for the wall now honey

Still coming up like a rose
