As with all Mason I'm familiar with, all strings are dropped one half step. In addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning. You'll end up with C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#. Finally, capo on 2nd fret. The D and E minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern where the first two down strikes are the base note. When you play the E minor chord, add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you're in drop D. I think there's also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus, but I can't figure out what it is. Listen to the song and let me know if you get it. This is my first tab, so any feedback is appreciated. All the best! D I met a man who was not quite an old man Amaj7 Said he was an old boy D I would make a toast to believe and bet you Amaj7 That I would be the same old man D Not the kind with a lost soul Amaj7 Who can't put down his toys D Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart Amaj7 And resolution in my soul Em A D So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised Em A D When I don't leave your side Em 'Cause there's not a single part of my love A D That you should not believe Em I hope when I grow old A D That you grow old with me D I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies Amaj7 Because I love the left lane D And I begged the pardon of the mass media Amaj7 You know on Sundays I don't go to mass D And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your Amaj7 house, I'm waiting for a hurricane D To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me Amaj7 D who's gonna be here last Em A D So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised Em A D When I don't leave your side Em 'Cause there's not a single part of my love A D That you should not believe Em I hope when I grow old A D That you grow old with me Em I hope when I grow old A D That you grow old with me Em I hope when I grow old A D That you grow old with me
