Verse 1: Power chords of course
                                 E5            F#5
I don?t know too much about too much of my old man
   B5                                       E5            F#5
I know he walked right out the door and we never saw him again
 B5                             E5          F#5
Last I heard he was at the bar doin? himself in
   B5                                 E5                F#5
I know I got that same disease I got stuck with it from him
Chorus: Guitar 1
G#5          F#5            E5
This is the story of my old man
G#5           F#5           E5
Just like his father before him
     G#5           F#5          E5
I?m tellin? you do anything you can
   G#5           F#5           E5
So you don?t end up just like them....like them

Verse 2: Clean picking (regular chords, not power chords)
B         G#m         E
Monday he woke up and hated life
B           G#m            E
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
 B                G#m          E
Thursday through Saturday lost everything

Woke up on Sunday miserable again

Verse 3:
Interlude                      E5            F#5
I remember baseball games and working on the car
    B5                           E5             F#5
He told me that he loved me and that I would go far
    B5                             E5            F#5
He taught me how to work hard and stick up for myself
  B5                          E5         F#5
I wish it wasn?t too hard to listen to himself
REPEAT Chorus
REPEAT Verse 2 but instead of stopping at the end, keep the chord
progression going a couple more times.
Break: Just play the Chorus the same way with both guitars
Verse 4:
 B5           G#5            E5
Someday he?ll wish that he?d made things right (made things right)
 B5           G#5        E5
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
  B5         G#5          E5
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
B5       G#5       E5(stop)
Now he?s alone and miserable again
