C#m E
My old man is a lonely tree
B E
Sitting on a branch in a lonely sea
C#m E
When I first met him I thought how
B E
Could he have let my mother down
Chorus One:
F#m C#m
But my old man he came to see me
E B
He put his hand in mine and said he loved me
F#m C#m
Well I was burned up with ill feeling
E
But his eyes they said it all
B
I forgave him for his fall
C#m
Verse Two:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/anika_moa/my_old_man_crd.html ]
C#m E
And in the summer he’s a summer breeze

Shooting at all his possibilities
C#m E
He prays to god to fix him up
B E
But he plays with the devil to fill his cup
//Chorus Two//
F#m C#m
My old man is good at singing
E B
He plays the guitar like Carlos Santana should have done

To be a broken man it hurts his feelings

But we are what we have done

Sweet souls setting in the sun
