Verse 1

    C#
He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
G#   C#
He was covered with the evening news
   G#      D#        G#
Had a pair of wool socks on his hands
     C#
The bank sign was flashing five below

It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
    G#    D#         G#
He was curled up behind some garbage cans

Pre-Chorus 1

C7               Fm C#
I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake
C7                   C#     D# Bbm
When he opened up his eyes I said, Old man are you ok,
  D#7
He said

Chorus 1

             C#
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree
            G#
I was running from some honey bees
   G#7     C#
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
       Bbm D#      D#7
After jumpin' into Calico Creek
           Bbm   C#   Fm
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
G#   C#          G#
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Fm             Bbm G# C# D# (let ring till G#)
Man I wish you'd just left me  alone
          G#
Cause I was almost home

Verse 2

       C#
Then he said, I's just comin' round the barn,

Bout the time you grabbed my arm
G         D#         G#
When I heard momma holler son hurry up
   C#
I was close enough for my own nose
G# C#
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
  G      D#       G#
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

Pre-Chorus 2

C7                 C#
Cane poles on the tailgate, bobbers blowin' in the wind
   C7          C#      D#  D#7
Since July of 55, that's as close as I've been,

Chorus 2

Man I wish you'd just left me alone

I was almost home

Bridge

I said old man you're gonna freeze to death,

Let me drive you to the mission

Right now I'd be fishin'
