THESE OLD EYES (HAVE SEEN IT ALL)

GEORGE JONES

SPOKEN:

(E) THE OLD MANS HAIR WAS WHITE AND HIS EYES LOOKED TIRED
HE DRANK HIS BEER AT A TABLE ALL ALONE
BUT HE SMILED WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM SO I SIT DOWN FOR AWHILE
I WOUND UP SITTING THERE THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG
CAUSE I 	 COULD SEE HE HAD A LIFETIME ON HIS MIND
SO I JUST SAT THERE AND LISTENED I WAS GLAD TO TAKE THE TIME

AND HE SAID.......


(E) I SAW JIMMY RODGERS YODDLE ON THE (A) STAGE

AND I SAW (B) HANK WHEN THEY WALKED HIM TO HIS (E) GRAVE

I SAW COUNTRY BOY FROM MEMPHIS 

CHANGE THE (A) WORLD WITH ROCK AND ROLL

AND (B) THESE OLD EYES HAVE SEEN IT (E) ALL



THEN HE SAID.....

(E) I SAW FRIENDS OF MINE ON FOREIGN SOIL DIE (A) PROUD

I SAW THINGS OVER (B) THERE, SON, THAT I STILL CANT TALK (E) ABOUT

I SAW A CRAZY MAN NAMED HITLER AND HIS (A) ARMY RISE AND FALL

YEAH (B)THESE OLD EYES HAVE SEEN IT (E) ALL


(A) THESE (B) OLD EYES HAVE SEEN IT (E) ALL

NOW THE (A) HANDS OF TIME ARE WRITING ON THE (B) WALL

TELLING ME (A) I WONT HAVE LONG (E) WAITING FOR MY JESUS TO (A) CALL

(B) THESE OLD EYES HAVE SEEN IT (E) ALL



KEY CHANGE UP A 1/2 STEP


I SAW MY SWEET MARY LOVE ME, (A) FIFTY YEARS

WITH A (B) TREMBLING HAND HE WIPED AWAY A (E) TEAR
