[F] [Am] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [G] [E] [Am]






Versee1


I [Am]do things the way that I [F]do them

I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Verse 2


I'll [Am]smile sometimes when I [F]oughtn't


Or [Am]can't smile no matter how I [G]try


I'm [Am]peculiar and I'm very set in [F]my ways


I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Chorus


So [F]take me or leave me I'll [Am]not care


I'll [G]keep on being me just the [Am]same


I may [F]get on your nerves so I'm [Am]sorry in advance


You [G]know now so you don't have me to [E]blame[Am]






Verse 3


I [Am]open doors for all the [F]ladies


If I [Am]see you I can't help saying [G]hi


I'll [Am]shake hands when we meet and [F]again we part


I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Verse 4


My [Am]wife's tried to break all my bad [F]habits


But at the [Am]end of the day she'll just [G]sigh


I think she'll [Am]keep me but sometimes I [F]wonder



I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Chorus


So [F]take me or leave me I'll [Am]not care


I'll [G]keep on being me just the [Am]same


I may [F]get on your nerves so I'm [Am]sorry in advance


You [G]know now so you don't have me to [E]blame[Am]






Verse 5


[Am]I like to think that we're [F]all good


And that we'd [Am]rather tell the truth than tell a [G]lie


I think we [Am]all want what's the best for [F]the world


I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Verse 6


I [Am]still read all sorts of [F]stories


[Am]Even ones that make me [G]cry


I [Am]hate to be late so usually I'm [F]early


I [Am]guess I'm just an [G]old fashion [Am]guy






Chorus


So [F]take me or leave me I'll [Am]not care


I'll [G]keep on being me just the [Am]same


I may [F]get on your nerves so I'm [Am]sorry in advance


You [G]know now so you don't have me to [E]blame[Am]






Ending Chorus


Okay, [F]so that's me in a [Am]nutshell


I [G]think you all now get how I [Am]am


So [G]if you ever see me [F]walking down the road


You'll know [Am]there goes an [G]old fashion [E]man[F] [G] [Am7]

Hi Jeff,

Great to see you back and not only that you have written a song for me. Well it fits me like a glove. I really enjoyed playing it so much so I am going to 'Badeye' it a couple more times.

Definitely a must to be up on MySpace.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: An Old Fashion Guy

Like Roger, I think I just found my theme song . . . I also do silly things like show up early, open doors, shake hands, and read books.  However, I would hate to think that puncuality, manners, civility, and literature are 'old' - rather, I see them as 'time-honored' or 'wise' behaviors.  Hope to hear this one soon.  James
