Tune half a step down
[Verse 1]
My Eold man Adied on a BSaturday Enight
I C#mwatched as he Ajust stopped Bsus4breathBing
and Ethough it was Aawful and Bpainful and C#msad
I was Aglad that he Bwasn't Ealone
[Verse 2]
It Efelt like someAthing he'd just Bhad to go Ethrough
an C#marduous Atask he'd been Bsus4givenB  
And it Eseemed so unAfair it was Bhis cross to C#mbear
the Asickest and Bweakest Eof us
[Verse 3]
Oh we Enever spoke Amuch as a Bfather and Eson
but C#mwe had an AunderBsus4standiBng
and I Estill hear his Avoice when I Bopen my C#mmouth
in Aanger, or Bwisdom, or Esuch
[Coda]
If EI see a Asimilar Bjacket or Ehair
I C#mthink for a Amoment I've Bsus4found Bhim
but Ethen I reAmember - it's Bnot about "C#mwhere"
and I Aknow he's not Blost, he is C#mgone, F#yea
I'm just Aglad that he Bwasn't Ealone

Tune half a step down

[Verse 1]

E A B E

My old man died on a Saturday night

C#m A Bsus4 B

I watched as he just stopped breathing

E A B C#m

and though it was awful and painful and sad

A B E

I was glad that he wasn't alone

[Verse 2]

E A B E

It felt like something he'd just had to go through

C#m A Bsus4 B

an arduous task he'd been given

E A B C#m

And it seemed so unfair it was his cross to bear

A B E

the sickest and weakest of us

[Verse 3]

E A B E

Oh we never spoke much as a father and son

C#m A Bsus4 B

but we had an understanding

E A B C#m

and I still hear his voice when I open my mouth

A B E

in anger, or wisdom, or such

[Coda]

E A B E

If I see a similar jacket or hair

C#m A Bsus4 B

I think for a moment I've found him

E A B C#m

but then I remember - it's not about "where"

A B C#m F#

and I know he's not lost, he is gone, yea

A B E

I'm just glad that he wasn't alone
