Don’t Let the Old Man In

Toby Keith

Tune to Drop D, and since fingerpicking, play G as 5x000x and E7 as 220100.
 
 
[Intro]
D   D   D   D   (fingerpick chords) 0x023x
 
 
[Verse 1]
              D
Don't let the old man in,  

        G
I wanna live me some more.
               A7
Can't leave it up to him,  
                D
he's knocking on my door.
 
[Verse 2]
 
And I knew all of my life,
         G
that someday it would end.
           A7
Get up and go outside, 
                 D        D7
don't let the old man in.
 
{ CHORUS }
     G
Many moons I have lived
          D
My body's weathered and worn
                 E7
Ask yourself how old would you be
                       A7
If you didn't know the day you were born
 
 
[Verse 3]
       D
Try to love on your wife
         G
And stay close to your friends
           A7
Toast each sundown with wine
                 D
Don't let the old man in
 
 
[Interlude]
D    G   A7   D   D7
(Hummmm)
 
 
{ CHORUS }
     G
Many moons I have lived
          D
My body's weathered and worn
                 E7
Ask yourself how old would you be
                       A7
If you didn't know the day you were born
 
 
[Verse 4]
              D
When he rides up on his horse
                  G
And you feel that cold bitter wind
              A7
Look out your window and smile
              D
Don't let the old man in
 
 
[Outro]
              A7
Look out your window and smile
              Dsus2      D
Don't let the old man in
