F#

I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road

E B F#

Late for my plane again

F#

Had to stop for some gas at this country store

E B F#

That's when I saw the old man

D#m B C#

He was kicked back workin' on a big R C

D#m B

Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV

F# C# B

Took him awhile to even notice me

G#m G#m7/C# C#

Sittin' there I thought to myself

CHORUS:

F#

Old man (Old Man)

D#m

You got one up on me

B C#

I'm still lookin' for my shady tree

D#m G#

With your two gas pumps and your color TV

B G#

Your satisfied as you can be

G#m

Old Man (Old Man)

C# F# D#m F#m D#m

I guess you got one up on me

VERSE:

F#

Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile

E B F#

Said "How ya doin, son?"

F#

I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....

E B F#

...'cause I'm really in a run."

D#m B C#

He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....

D#m B

If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....

F# C# B

If you wanna see what the good life is.....

G#m G#m7/C# C#

Just get out and visit awhile."

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

D#m

Don't remember just what it was

B C#

The old man said to me

D#m

...But I forgot about catchin' the plane

G#m F#/A# B C#

And opened up the big R. C.

REPEAT CHORUS

C# G#m

...Old Man

C# F# D#m

..You got one up on me Old Man

REPEAT SAME CHORDS AND FADE(F#, D#m)

Enjoy!
