A                       F#m                  E
My brother and I used to go down to George's Bar
A                   F#m                         E
we'd drink big O's until they close down the place
A                   F#m         E
we'd talk about our life long ambitions
D                   E              A
I still recall the smile upon his face.

[Verse 2]
A                   F#m                    E
He took off for the bright lights down in Austin
A                            F#m              E
he said don't you know there ain't no money here
A                  F#m                  E
he made a billion bucks just selling computers
D                   E                    A
I still go down to George's and drink my beer.

[Chorus]
E                           D                   A
Yeah, he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here.
E                          D                   A
Well he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here.

[Verse 2]
A                       F#m                  E
There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade
A               F#m                E
she didn't even know she caught my eye
A               F#m           E
we dated for a while back in high school
D                   E              A
I thought that one day she'd be my wife.

[Verse 3]
A                       F#m                  E
The road took a turn somewhere around eighteen
A               F#m            E
she took off to find her own way
A                F#m            E
fell in for some Nashville high roller
D                   E              A
I know he gonna break her heart one day.

[Chorus]
E                           D                   A
Yeah, she's gone, she may be gone, but I'm still here.
E                          D                   A
Well she's gone, she may be gone, but I'm still here.

[Verse 4]
A                       F#m                  E
I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday,
A               F#m          E
watch the dallas cowboys on TV,
A                F#m               E
sit around sometimes he'd tell us stories,
D                   E          A
about how simple life used to be.

[Verse 5]
A             F#m                  E
My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday,
A                 F#m                   E
I thought to myself he was one helluva' man,
A                   F#m               E
and I know when the darkness surrounds me,
D                   E          A
he reaches out and he takes my hand.

[Chorus]
E                           D                   A
Yeah, he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here.
E                          D                   A
Well he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here.
