INTRO: C   F   C  G  C 

verse 1 
 
                                  F 
He'd an old-fashioned way when he started to play  
        C                      G 
He'd an old-fashioned steel guitar  
        C                        F 
With no amps and no leads, it fulfilled all his needs  
      C             G             C 
And together they'd both traveled far  
        G                    F            C 
Just an old troubadour on an old bar-room floor  
        Bb        D            G 
Just an old troubadour and his song  
       C                          F 
But it tore them apart, 'cause it came from his heart  
           C              G          C      F   C  G  C 
And they'd not heard that art for so long  

verse 2 

                                    F 
Then a kid playing pool said, “This old man's a fool  
         C                           G 
He's not cool, just a ghoul past his prime”  
      C                            F 
So he walked to the wall where the jukebox stood tall  
       C             G           C 
And he paid for some hits of the time  
       G                         F           C 
Then a girl passed him by with a look in her eye  
           Bb         D        G 
That said 'Don't even try to oppose' 
           C                           F 
Pulled the plug from the wall said "An ass needs a stall  
       C               G          C        F 
And we all hope you've got one of those"  


verse 3 
 
              G      F               G 
She stood her ground, she stared him down  
    F                          G 
The kid raised a fist, then he smiled  
         F 
He said "You're wasted on him"  
        C 
Then he turned with a grin  
          Bb         D            G 
And said "Girls like you drive me wild  
       Bb              D                G 
You're young enough to be the old man's child" 


verse 4 

         C                    F 
When the kid left the room, a chord filled the gloom 
      C                         G 
And a voice sang a song for the stars  
        C                        F 
For the breeze in the trees, for nights such as these  
        C              G         C 
And for girls who find lovers in bars  
    G                          F           C 
And when the chord died like a wave on the tide  
         Bb         D           G 
Like the cry from a high flying bird  
       C                          F 
He put down his guitar, she said "I've got my car  
      C              G            C 
And a jar, if you'll just say the word"  


VERSE 5 

        G                        F            C 
So that old troubadour left that old bar-room floor  
          Bb        D             G 
Yes, that old troubadour sang her song  
       C                         F 
And it tore her apart, 'cause it came from his heart  
          C             G          C      F   C  G  C 
And she'd not felt that art for so long 


VERSE 6 
 
                                  F 
He'd an old-fashioned way when he started to play  
        C                      G 
He'd an old-fashioned steel guitar  
        C                        F 
With no amps and no leads, it fulfilled all his needs  
      C             G             C 
And together they'd both traveled far  
        G                    F            C 
Just an old troubadour on an old bar-room floor  
        Bb        D            G 
Just an old troubadour and his song  
       C                          F 
But it tore them apart, 'cause it came from his heart  
           C              G          C 
And they'd not heard that art for so long 
                                   F 
Yes, it tore them apart, 'cause it came from his heart  
           C             G          F     C 
And they'd not felt that art for so long
