David Allan Coe - I Still Sing The Old Songs
[D]Grandpa I been [G]thinkin bout you [D]lately
[D]Wonderin if youd [G]found your peace of [A]mind
I [D]guess youd be [G]proud to know your [D]grandsons
[G]Never crossed that [E7]Mason Dixon [A]Line.
Chorus:
And [G]I Still Sing The [A]Old Songs That you [D]taught me
And [G]I still pray to [A]Jesus now and [D]then
And [G]just like you I [A]wish that he will [D]save me
To [G]see the day the [E7]South will rise [A]again.
[D]Daddy wore his [G]purple heart so [D]proudly
[D]Long before I [G]turned into a [A]man
[D]Buried with our [G]flag acrossed his [D]casket
[G]I was still too [E7]young to under[A]stand.
Chorus:
[D]Momma spent her [G]last years in the [D]garden
[D]While I took my [G]turn behind the [A]gun
[D]Lord Id give my [G]life to find the [D]freedom
[G]Lost within the o[E7]ld songs that you [A]sung.
