G         D               C 
Old man sleepin' the hot day away, 
G           D               C 
while he dreams a thousand yesterdays. 
G            D           C 
'Cause he's had so many come his way. 
A                       C                           G 
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow. 
 
G         D                C 
Old man sits and thinks about his home. 
G         D                 C 
Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone. 
G           D               C 
What he'd give to get back on his own. 
A                             C                          G 
Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation. 
A                          C                                 G 
He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation.

G 
What a shame, 
C 
his time is nearin'. 
G 
His eyes won't let him see 
C 
the skies are clearin'. 
G 
Someone tells him 
C 
without his hearin'. 
A                            C 
It's no news to those who've been around 
                   A       C 
while things are changin', whoa, yeah
