3rd traste
[Verse 1]
F C
He’s a rock but he’s soft, I know why
G AM
Like the limestone he mines in his boots
F C
His mother and father
Gave him laughter and bother
F C
No machine could ever dig up those roots
[Verse 2]
F
There’s a life he could lead
C
If he skipped mouths to feed
Am G
And some money to add to the pot
F
He would die for the ones
C
That he loves under guns
Am G
He gave it all and he fought
[Chorus]
F
He is my old man
C
Prefers ice in his cup
Am G
And sleeps he never wears to tight
F
He is our old man
C
Shows us how its done
Am G
How to live it up and love it up right
[Verse 3]
F
Was a poor man at once
C
Collecting blood, sweat and tears
Am G
I asked him how he made it out fine
F
Said son it wasn’t easy
C
But I never thought twice
Am G
To raise a boy that wasn’t just mine
[Chorus]
F
He is my old man
C
Prefers ice in his cup
Am G
And sleeps he never wears to tight
F
He is our old man
C
Shows us how its done
Am G
How to live it up and love it up right
[Verse 4]
F
As I sat on the river
C
Listening to him
Am G
Those words they flooded south to the sea
F
A boy with a fear
C
Became a man with a dad
Am G
A father is a father to me
Am G
A father is a father to me
