The Old Man Is Dead Lyrics & Chords

By Del Way

Verse 1

(C)Now and (Em)then an old (Am)friend of mine,

(F)I've not seen for some (G)time,

Will stop by and ask me where I (F)been,

What's on my (G)mind.

They (F)wonder why I'm not (G)drinkin',

And still (C)painting this (Em)old town (Am)red.

(F)I tell them I'm serving (G)Jesus now,

And the (F)old (G)man is (C)dead



Chorus

And the (F)man you see (G)before you,

(C)May look a (Em)lot the (Am)same,

(F)I may wear the (G)same clothes,

(C)And have the same old (Am)name.

But you're looking' on the (G)outside,

If you could (C)see (Em)inside (Am)instead,

(F)You would see a (G)brand new man,

Cause the (F)old (G)man is (C)dead.



Verse 2

I used to live such a wicked life,

I had no peace inside.

I was lost in darkness,

Searching for the light.

Then one night in a little church,

After hearin' what the preacher said,

I gave my life to Jesus,

And the old man is dead.



Chorus

And the man you see before you,

May look a lot the same,

I may wear the same clothes,

And have the same old name.

But you're looking' on the outside,

If you could see inside instead,

You would see a brand new man,

Cause the old man is dead.
