Montgomery John Michael - Cool guitar tab

D G G A

D Dsus Gadd9

He really liked flannel with bib overalls

D A A7

If you looked in his closet it was all that you saw

D Dsus Gadd9

He'd dress up on Sunday and thought he looked neat

Bm A D/F# G

In a green leisure suit with wingtips on his feet

D Dsus Gadd9

I hated the music he played in the car

D A A7

It was hard to believe he called those people stars

D Dsus Gadd9

They sang through their noses like they all had colds

Bm A D/F# G

I guess it's hard to be cool when your forty years old

(Chorus:)

Bm G

I was fifteen and real hip with long hair

D A D/F#

I'd ask my mama why's is daddy so square

Bm G

I could't believe all that he didn't know

Bm A D/F# G

I guess it's hard to be cool when your forty years old

D Dsus Gadd9

The night I turned twenty she came with the news

D A A7

Scared half to death and didn't know what to do

D Dsus Gadd9

I told her I'm sorry, but it's not too late

Bm A D/F# G

There's a doctor I've heard of that fixes mistakes

D Dsus Gadd9

I thought he was working and I was alone

D A A7

But he was standing behind me when I hung up the phone

D Dsus Gadd9

He said Son there's a few things you don't know about

Bm A D/F# G

If you listen real close we can figure this out

(Chorus)

Bm G

Cause I was eighteen and as wild as they came

D A D/F#

When one night a young girl told me the same thing

Bm G

You would't be here if she hadn't said no

Bm A D/F# G

You see, It's hard to be cool when your twenty years old

D Dsus Gadd9

These days I like flannel and old Levi jeans

D A A7

And I look at my young boy who just turned fifteen

D D/F# Gadd9

I know what he's thinking but it's ok you know

Bm A G

You see, It's hard to be cool when your fifteen years old

G A D
