[D/A] [D/A]
My old man
He’s a singer in the pa[D/A]rk[D/A]
He’s a walker in the rain
He’s a dancer in the dark
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and t[D/E]rue
My old man
[D/E]Keeping away my blu[D/A]es[D/A]
He’s my sunshine in the morning
He’s my fireworks at the [D/A]end of the day[D/A]
He’s the warmest chord I ever heard
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and [D/E]true
My old man
[D/E]Keeping away my blu[D/A]es[D/A]
[C-Part]
But when he’s gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed’s too big
The frying pan’s too wide[D/A]
Then he comes home
And he takes me in[D/A] his loving arms[D/A]
And he tells me all his troubles
And he tells me all my charms
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and [D/E]true
My old man
[D/E]Keeping away my blu[D/A]es[D/A]
[C-Part]
But when he’s gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed’s too big
The frying pan’s too wide[D/A]
My old man

He’s a dancer in the dark
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and [D/E]true
My old man
[D/E]Keeping away my lonesome[D/A] blues[D/A]
