A long time ago I met an old man
Bm G D A
Then he did cry and told me about his pain

And all that I could do

But someday my young boy
G
You'll be an old man too

I spent all my money, in cars, drinks and games

And so never repeat my mistakes again

I did everything I wished

And all that I could do

But someday my young boy
