tom:

D        E7sus              D/E             A       D/A
  My old man,       he's a singer  in  the  park
D                      E7sus
  He's a walker in the rain
       D/E                A7sus   Am7
he's a dancer  in   the   dark

D                         A7sus          A7        D/E
We don't need no piece of paper from the City Hall 
E7                     D
Keeping us tied and true
D/A  E7sus  D/E      A     D/A   A
  My old man,   keeping away    my blues

D                            E7sus
He's my sunshine in the morning
D/E            A                       D/A
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
D                       E7sus
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
D/E        A7sus                        Am7
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby

D                         A7sus          A7        D/E
We don't need no piece of paper from the City Hall 
E7                     D
Keeping us tied and true
D/A  E7sus  D/E      A     D/A   A
  My old man,   keeping away    my blues

              Abm7                        Bbm  Gbmaj7
but when he's gone, me and them lonesome blues         collide
    Db                 Dbm7              B
The bed's too big, the frying pan's too wide

D/A   D7    E  D/E  A     D/A

D              E7sus
Then he comes home
D/E                A               D/A
And he takes me in his loving arms
D                       E7sus
And he tells me all his troubles
D/E             A7sus        Am7
And he tells me all my charms

D                         A7sus          A7        D/E
We don't need no piece of paper from the City Hall 
E7                     D
Keeping us tied and true
D/A  E7sus  D/E      A     D/A   A
  My old man,   keeping away    my blues


              Abm7                        Bbm  Gbmaj7
but when he's gone, me and them lonesome blues         collide
    Db                 Dbm7              B
The bed's too big, the frying pan's too wide

D/A   D7    E  D/E  A     D/A

D        E7sus              D/E             A       D/A
  My old man,       he's a singer  in  the  park
D                      E7sus
  He's a walker in the rain

  My old man,   keeping away    my lonesome blues
