INTRO:                
VERSE:
             F#
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
E               B           F#
Late for my plane again
F#
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
E                  B                F#
That's when I saw the old man
           D#m                             B           C#
He was kicked back workin' on a big R C
D#m                                  B
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
F#              C#              B
Took him awhile to even notice me
G#m                             G#m7C#  C#
                                /    
Sittin' there I thought to myself
CHORUS:
         F#
Old man (Old Man)
                  D#m
You got one up on me
B                            C#
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
               D#m                              G#
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
        B                           G#
Your satisfied as you can be
      G#m
Old Man (Old Man)
  C#                                   F#   D#m   F#m   D#m
I guess you got one up on me
VERSE:
            F#
Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile
E                  B      F#
Said "How ya doin, son?"
F#
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
             E           B     F#
...'cause I'm really in a run."
     D#m                                   B                   C#
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
         D#m                           B
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....
F#               C#               B
If you wanna see what the good life is.....
       G#m                 G#m7C#  C#
                           /    
Just get out and visit awhile."
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
D#m
Don't remember just what it was
      B                                C#
The old man said to me
D#m
...But I forgot about catchin' the plane

                          /
