Tom: D
D G
I met an old man
D G
I said, "Tell me your story"
Bm G
He took out an old pen
D G
And wrote somethin' for me
G A G D
Then he kept walking on down the road
A G
And I watched him disappear like smoke
Bm A G D
And I thought I'd just seen a ghost
A Asus4
Then I looked down at what he'd wrote
[Chorus]
G D Asus4 A
It said, "Son, when you grow up you'll be fine
G D Asus4 A
I know, you've got questions on your mind
G D Asus4 Bm
Life is gonna happen one way or the other, whether you like it or not
G D A D
Stop looking for answers and you'll find, what you've got"
D G D G D G
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm
[Verse 2]
D G
I met a young man
D G
Searchin' for glory
Bm G
I took out an old pen
D G
And wrote him my story
G A G D
Then I kept walking on down the road
A G
When your time is up, it's time to go
Bm A G D
I pray he reads what's on the note
A Asus4
And takes to heart what I wrote
[Chorus]
G D Asus4 A
It said, "Son, when you grow up you'll be fine
G D Asus4 A
I know, you've got questions on your mind
G D Asus4 Bm
Life is gonna happen one way or the other, whether you like it or not
G D A D
Stop looking for answers and you'll find, what you've got"
