The Old Man Is Dead

• C

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.
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)
