Smoke and Whistles (Capo 1 or 3)
[Verse 1]
G C G
I see and old man sitting with a young man’s heart
G C G
He knows lot about living but he ain’t been far (He’s even bled for his stars)
G C G
63 years since he was as young as me
G C Em
85 years living wild and free
[Verse 2]
G C G
He keeps one foot down and one on the rise
G D Em
Smoking his cigarette with a fire in his eyes
G C G
He can tell you stories about death and life
G D C
About finding love watching widows cry
[Chorus]
Em D C
But oh I see in me
Em D C
That old man coming to be
Em D C
And oh I feel in me
Em D G
That old man, watching over me
[Verse 3]
G C G
Some say it’s a matter of time
G C G
Before that old man hits the end of line
G C G
Drowning his problems from the top of the day
G C Em
Drinking to the one whose memory fade away
[Verse 4]
G C G
She was 4 foot 8, an angel in disguise
G D Em
And the devil wouldn’t even cross her line
G C G
She would share a smile that got sweeter with time
G D C
Then wash it away with some sherry wine
[Chorus]
Em D C
But oh I see in me
Em D C
That old man coming to be
Em D C
And oh I feel in me
Em D G
That old man, watching over me
[Ending Chorus]
Em D C
But oh I see in me
Em D C
That old man coming to be
Em D C
And oh I feel in me
Em D C
That old man, watching over me
Em D C
That old man, watching over me
Em D G
That old man, is gonna watch over me
