He said his h[D]ip talk to him when it's ready to rain
[A/C#]He's had a little nip and he's feeling no pain
[Bm]When he gets like thi[A]s, he feels like ta[G]lkin'
He said he t[D]ook some shrapnel at the Bay Of Pigs
[A/C#]He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig
[Bm]Ooh you gotta wa[A]tch him or he'll take off walk[G]in'
[A]Some folks say he's lost his mi[Bm]nd, [A]
[G]But he's just runni[A]ng' out of time
CHORUS
He said, [G]This old bag of bo[A]nes ain't really me[D]
There's a [G]lot more standing [A]here than what you [D]see
He said my [G]back is bending l[A]ow, but my s[Bm]pirit's [A]flying
[E/G#]free
[G]This old bag of [A]bones ain't really m[D]e
(SOLO - D - A/C# - Bm - A - G - A - Bm - A - G - A)
He said I l[D]ive each day like it's my last
[A/C#]Time won't keep, it goes too fast
[Bm]You'd better do the[A] best that you ca[G]n do
He said, Li[D]fe's a tune you whistle in the dark
[A/C#]When you get it right, you get a little spark
and the [Bm]sun comes up and i[A]t all dawns on y[G]ou
