Intro :
F#D#mF#D#mVerse :
F#
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
EBF#
Late for my plane again
F#
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
EBF#
That's when I saw the old man
D#mBC#
He was kicked back workin' on a big R CD#mB
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
F#C#B
Took him awhile to even notice me
G#mG#m7/C#C#
Sittin' there I thought to myself
Chorus :
F#
Old man (Old Man)
D#m
You got one up on me
BC#
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
D#mG#
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
BG#
Your satisfied as you can be
G#m
Old Man (Old Man)
C#F#D#mF#mD#m
I guess you got one up on me
Verse :
F#
Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile
EBF#
Said "How ya doin, son?"
F#
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
EBF#
...'cause I'm really in a run."
D#mBC#
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
D#mB
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....

If you wanna see what the good life is.....

Just get out and visit awhile."

And opened up the big R. C.
