VERSE:
             F#5
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road

E5               B5           F#5
Late for my plane again

F#5
Had to stop for some gas at this country store

E5                  B5                F#5
That's when I saw the old man

           Eb5                             B5           C#5
He was kicked back workin' on a big R C

Eb5                                  B5
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV

F#5              C#5              B5
Took him awhile to even notice me

Ab5                                Ab5    C#5
Sittin' there I thought to myself

 
CHORUS:

         F#5
Old man (Old Man)

                  Eb5
You got one up on me

B5                            C#5
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree

               Eb5                              Ab5
With your two gas pumps and your color TV

        B5                           Ab5
Your satisfied as you can be

      Ab5                
Old Man (Old Man)

  C#5                                   F#5   Eb5   F#5   Eb5
I guess you got one up on me

VERSE:
            F#5
Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile

E5                  B5      F#5
Said "How ya doin, son?"

F#5
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....

             E5           B5     F#5      
...'cause I'm really in a run."

     Eb5                                   B5                   C#5
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....

         Eb5                           B5
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....

F#5               C#5               B5
If you wanna see what the good life is.....

       Ab5                    Ab5    C#5
Just get out and visit awhile."

REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE:
Eb5
Don't remember just what it was

      B5                                C#5
The old man said to me

Eb5           
...But I forgot about catchin' the plane

      Ab5                    F#5    B5    C#5
And opened up the big R.         C.

REPEAT CHORUS
   C#5           Ab5    
...Old Man

C#5                                 F#5    Eb5
..You got one up on me               Old Man
