I Still Sing The Old Songs

G                 C                 G
Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately

                   C                   D7
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind

  G            C                  G
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons

C                              D7
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line


      C              D7                 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

      C             D7            G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then

    C               D7                 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me

   C                               D7
To see the day the south will rise again


G              C               G
Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly

               C             D7
Long before he turned into a man

G               C               G
Buried with our flag across his casket

C                             D7
I was still too young to understand


      C              D7                 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

      C             D7            G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then

    C               D7                 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me

   C                               D7
To see the day the south will rise again


G              C                 G
Mama spent her last years in the garden

                       C               D7
While brother took his turn behind the gun

G                C                G
Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom

C                                  D7
Lost within the old songs that you sung


      C              D7                 G
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

      C             D7            G
And I still pray to Jesus now and then

    C               D7                 G
And just like you I wish that He would save me

   C                               D7
To see the day the south will rise again
