My brother and I used to go down to George's Bar 
A5                   F#5                         E5 
we'd drink big O's until they close down the place 
A5                   F#5         E5 
we'd talk about our life long ambitions 
D5                   E5              A5 
I still recall the smile upon his face. 
 
He took off for the bright lights down in Austin 

he said don't you know there ain't no money here 

he made a billion bucks just selling computers 

I still go down to George's and drink my beer.

Yeah, he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here. 
E5                          D5                   A5 
Well he's gone, he may be gone, but I'm still here.

2nd Verse: 
There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade 
she didn't even know she caught my eye 
we dated for a while back in high school 
Ithought that one day she'd be my wife. 
The road took a turn somewhere around eighteen 
she took off to find her own way 
feel in for some Nashville high roller 
I know he gonna break her heart one day. 
 
Chorus 
 
I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday, 
watch the football game on TV, 
sit around sometimes he'd tell us stories, 
about how simple life used to be. 
My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday, 
I thought to myself he was one helluva' man, 
and I know when the darkness surrounds me, 
he reaches out and he takes my hand. 
 
Chorus
