Old Softy By Jeff Gilpin
April 14, 2013
He’s [D]easy with a [F]kind word
[C]Ever [G] with a [D]smile
Gets [D]caught up in re[F]flection
But he’ll [C]come back [G]after a [D]while
He’s [D]giving and he’s [F]honest
Wears his [C]feelings [G]on his [D]sleeve
What he’s [D]thinking you just [F]can’t guess
His [C]mind goes [G]where it [D]pleases
He’s an [Bb]old softy it’s [F]true
With a [C]sympathetic [D]smile
Often [Bb]cheerful never [F]cruel
A bit of [C]mischief a [G]bit of [D]guile
Patri[D]otic and ro[F]mantic
[C]Easy to [G]laugh or [D]cry
Plays it [D]off like no one [F]noticed
Just got [C]something [G]in his [D]eye
Lives with [D]passion in his [F]fashion
But he [C]keeps it [G]in con[D]trol
If you [D]ask him why he’s [F]like that
He’ll smile and [C]say that’s [G]how I [D]roll
He’s an [Bb]old softy it’s [F]true
With a [C]sympathetic [D]smile
Often [Bb]cheerful never [F]cruel
A bit of [C]mischief a [G]bit of [D]guile
He [D]wasn’t always [F]like this
He was [C]once tough [G]as a [D]boulder
But through [D]trials and tribu[F]lations
He softened [C]up as [G]he got [D]older
Now his [D]memories from the [F]past
[C]Color [G]all his [D]feelings
And it’s [D]rare he gets [F]disturbed
Or [C]emotions [G]start un[D]reeling
He’s an [Bb]old softy it’s [F]true
With a [C]sympathetic [D]smile
Often [Bb]cheerful never [F]cruel
A bit of [C]mischief a [G]bit of [D]guile
