[Verse]
Ab        Db                                   
■  He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
   Db                               
He was covered with the evening news
      Ab                                 
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
Db                               
Bank sign was flashing five below
   Db                                 
It was freezing rain and spitting snow
   Ab  Abmaj7                            
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
C                            
I was afraid that he was dead
  Db                     
I gave him a gentle shake
C7   C                    
When he opened up his eyes
       Db              Eb  
I said Old man are you okay
Eb                 
What'd he say Jelly

I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree


[Chorus]
                   Ab             
I was running from some honey bees
                  Db           
Dripdrying in the summer breeze
                   Eb     Ab    Eb
After jumping into Calico Creek ■ 
                   Db              
I was walking down an old dirt road
                             Ab             
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Fm                            Db       Eb

'bout the time you grabbed my arm
Ab                                    
When I heard momma holler Son hurry up
      Db                          
I was close enough for my old nose
                       Db          
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
    Ab                              
And I saw daddy loading up the truck
C7                C       
Cane poles on the tailgate
C7      Db                 
Bobbers blowing in the wind
C                       
Since July of 'fiftyfive
