This is a really easy song. The lyrics might not be completely
correct but i don't know because the CD i have is burned.
Verse 1: Power chords of course
I don?t know too much about too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door and we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar doin? himself in
I know I got that same disease I got stuck with it from him
Chorus: Guitar 1
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I?m tellin? you do anything you can
So you don?t end up just like them....like them
Chorus: Guitar 2
G--8-8-8886-6-6664-4-4444-4-444-|
D--x-x-xxxx-x-xxxx-x-xxxx-x-xxx-|
A--6-6-6664-4-4442-2-2222-2-222-| PLAY 4X DURING CHORUS
Verse 2: Clean picking (regular chords, not power chords)
Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again
Interlude between verses 2 and 3:
G--4-4-4444-4-444-|
D--x-x-xxxx-x-xxx-|
A--2-2-2222-2-222-| PLAY 3X
Verse 3:
I remember baseball games and working on the car
He told me that he loved me and that I would go far
He taught me how to work hard and stick up for myself
I wish it wasn?t too hard to listen to himself
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 2 but instead of stopping at the end, keep the chord
progression going a couple more times.
Break: Just play the chorus the same way with both guitars
Verse 4:
Someday he?ll wish that he?d made things right (made things right)
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
Now he?s alone and miserable again
That?s it. That song rocks. It is one of the many songs about Joel?s
dad (others include Complicated, Emotionless. Little Things and
Waldorf Worldwide mention him). This tab is pretty much accurate so
have fun with it. Peace out!
