[Verse 1]
D
Grandpa never sets an alarm
G A
He's up before the moon starts sleeping
D
Put his pearl snap shirt and his wranglers on
G A
He was shuffling across the kitchen
G A
And once a week usually on Wednesday
D G A
He meets his buddies at the local cafe
G D
Now and then he lets me tag along
Em7 A
And I do all the listening
[Chorus]
D
They dont talk about politics
G A
Banking or religion, and
D
its better not to dwell on who
G A
Is dying and not living
Bm A
From droughts to wars, they've for sure
D A G
Seen their share of pain
D
and thats why old men sit around
G A D
and talk about the rain
D D G A
[Verse 2]
D
Went broke farming in '63
G A
Watched Kennedy die the same year on TV
D
His wife's been sick, but he prays all he can
G A
Tries to give the good Lord what he don't understand
G A
He could bring it all up, but there ain't no reason he would
G A
When there's lives to be had and the coffee is good
[Chorus]
D
They dont talk about politics
G A
Banking or religion, and
D
its better not to dwell on who
G A
Is dying and not living
Bm A
From droughts to wars, they've for sure
D A G
Seen their share of pain

[Bridge]
G D
And one of these days, he won't be around
Em7 A
It'll be me on Wednesdays still going down
[Chorus]
D
They dont talk about politics
G A
Banking or religion, and
D
its better not to dwell on who
G A
Is dying and not living

From droughts to wars, they've for sure

Seen their share of pain

and thats why old men sit around
