Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
This old man and me, were at the bar and we
Were having us some beers and swapping I don't cares.
Talking politics, blond and redhead chicks.
Old dogs and new tricks and habits we ain't kicked.
We talked about God's grace and all the hell we raised.
Then I heard the ole' man say
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.
He said "I fought two wars,
Been married and divorced."
What brings you to Ohio?
He said "Damned if I know."
We talked an hour or two about every girl we knew.
What all we put 'em through.
Like two ole' boys will do.
We pondered life and death
He lit a cigarette
And said "These damn things will kill me yet."
But God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.
Bridge
Last call, its 2am, I said goodbye to him
I never talked to him again
Then one sunny day, I saw the old mans face
Front page Obituary, he was a millionaire.
He left his fortune to some guy he barely knew,
His kids were mad as hell. But me? I'm doing well.
And I dropped by today, to just say thanks and pray,
And I left a six-pack right there on his grave and I said
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.
