OLD & IN THE WAY - HAZEL DICKENS

OLD & IN THE WAY

[Chorus]
C                        D                 G                            C
Old and in the way, that's what I heard them say
                                                                                                G  C  G
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday
C                            D              G                        C
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away
               Am             C                            Am        D        G         
They'll never care about you, call you old and in the way

D                                    G
Once I hear tell, he was happy
      C                                                   D
He had his share of friends and good times
                      C                          
Now, those friends have all passed on
                G                           Em
He don't have a place called home
               C                                           Am       D       G
Looking back to a better day, feeling old and in the way
[Chorus]
   D                                 G
When just a boy, he left his home
C                                    G               D
Thought he'd have the world on a string
                 C                    
Now the years have come and gone
        G                       Em
He walks the streets alone
               C                                            Am      D        G
Like the old dog gone astray, he's just old and in the way

(Pick/brush, brisk)
