The Old Man Is Dead

By

Del Way

C C/B Am

Now and then, an old friend of mine,

F G

I've not seen for sometime,

C C/B Am

will stop by and ask me,

F G

where've you been, what's on your mind,

F G

they wonder why I'm not drinking,

C C/B Am

and still painting this old town red,

F G

I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,

F G C

and the old man is dead.

(chorus)

F G

The man you see before you,

C C/B Am

may look a lot the same,

F G

I may wear the same old clothes,

C C/B Am

and still have the same old name,

F G

but your looking on the outside,

C C/B Am

if you could see inside instead,

F G

you would see a brand new man, cause,

F G C

the old man is dead.

C C/B Am

I used to live such a wicked life,

F G

I had no hope in sight,

C C/B Am

I was lost in darkness,

F G

just searching for a light,

F G

and then one night in a little church,

C C/B Am

after hearing what the preacher said,

F G

I gave my life to Jesus,

F G C

and the old man was dead.

(Chorus)
