This is how I do it (with my own arrangement). A great song with lots of emotion. Best recorded version by Finbar Furey .



(G)The tears have(D)all been shed(G)now
We've(C)said our(G)last good(D)byes,
His(C)soul's been(Am)blessed
He's(G)laid to(Em)rest,

And it's(Am)now I feel(D)alone,
He was(G)more than(D)just my(G)father
My(C)teacher,(G)my best(D)friend;
And he'll(C)still be(Am)heard
In the(G)songs we(Em)shared
When I (Am)play them on my(D)own.

And I(G) never(D)will for(G)get him
For he(C)made me(G)what I(D)am
Though he (C)may be(Am)gone
Memories(G)linger(Em)on--
And I(G)miss him(D)The Old(G)Man.

As a child, he'd take me walking
By mountain, field and stream,
And he'd show me things
Not known to kings,
And secret between him and me,
Like the colours on a pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish, or make a wish
Beside a Fairy tree.

I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly,
And the years roll by
For a father and his little one.
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid;
No second chance
To tell him "Thanks",
For everything he'd done

And I never will forget him
For he made me what I am,
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on .....
God I miss him----The Old Man
