D I've seen the old man sittin' round The courthouse square back home in town G Em G A Talkin' about the big war, back in 1943 D Sayin' how much good it's done Medals gleamin' in the sun G Em Cussin' at my long hair G A And my talk of bein' free. D Their vision like their battle scars A Of other wars has faded G Like the colors on the ribbons D From the battles that they've won G If there's one thing I've learned it's this D Bm You just can't shake hand with a fist Em A And I once did my talkin' with a gun. D And old man I know what you've seen A But yours is not the only dream G F#m Em G A I have to believe in something more than yesterday D Let it die just like the past A G I believe there's hope at last A Old man, did you ever have to pray D Old man, can you show me the way. D He shakes his head from time to time And rambles somewhere in his mind G Em Mumblin' bout the civil war G A And how we should have won D Settin' up his battle plans On checker boards at his command G Em G A Watchin' all his gallant kings go fallen one by one. D And "son he'd say there's not much time For you to straighten out your mind G Em A But you never listen, to the things I try to say D And I just turn my head and cry Never understanding why G Em He'd set up that checkerboard A When he knew I couldn't play.
