Tom: A

             A                             E
Oh when it comes to fixing fences, riding bulls and drinking beer
 G                                     D
Gimme some young buckaroo who's kinda wet behind the ears
     A                               E
Cuz I'll take fire in the belly, and if he's a little green
      G                             D
Well sometimes piss and vinegar is exactly what you need


[Chorus]

            A
But I want old men making my whiskey
        A
I want old men singing my blues
       G
I want old men teaching my horses
                  D/F#        E              A
Cuz there's just some things young men can't do

Like the old boys do


[Verse 2]

              A                                 E
I want some scrappy kid to have my back in the middle of a barroom fight
       G                                              D
And a little youth can kinda help sometimes with the girls on friday night
 A                                E
When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
 G                                      D
Acid trips and rocker chicks, yeah I'm lucky I'm alive


[Chorus]

            A
But I want old men making my whiskey
        A
I want old men singing my blues
       G
I want old men teaching my horses
                  D/F#        E              A
Cuz there's just some things young men can't do

Like the old boys do


[Chorus/Outro]

 A
Old men making my whiskey
 A
Old men singing me blues
 G
Old men educating my horses
                  D/F#        E              A
Cuz there's just some things young men can't do
