Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Man Down (Chris Smither)
Thanks, that's pretty much what we've come up with as well. Today is actually the day we have to sing it at my brother's memorial. Like I said, I think it particularly will impact his daughter (who asked us to sing it). I'm doing my part in DADGAD (capoed 2 for the Em) and Susan is doing standard Em chords on a six string banjo. We have a good friend joining us with a tasty mandolin part. We've been running through it a lot, so we can get it across at the service. I had trouble the first couple times singing it without choking up.
