Well an old man said to me
      G                  D
In a voice filled with pain
            A             G  D
Where you going young man

He said "The sun will never hurt you
       G        D
Never harmed anyone
              A       G  D
But you must realize"

        A
If you try to stare her down
          G          D
She will win in the end
          A       
She will burn your eyes
           G    D

He said "Boy I was young once
 G          D
Yeah I was tough
            A               G  D
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat

             A  
Hey I could kill the enemy
         G                 D
I could die on foreign streets
                 A     G  D
But I could not vote

             A
But now you walk by me
           G      D
You won't talk to me
                A   G D
Say this is my fate

           A
But every time you walk the streets boy
 G                D
Most of them you meet
              A    
You see it's you they hate

See this woman sitting next to me
   G             D         A             G  D

And when I fell, she picked me up
        G                    D           
When I cried, she wiped my tears
         A            G  D
I thank god she's mine
             A
And when I leave this world
           G        D
She won't have anything
         A           G D
But her love for me
            A  
'Cause the man took everything else
    G              D 
He made me hate myself
         A             
So just let us be boy
