VERSE:
F#
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
E B F#
Late for my plane again
F#
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
E B F#
That's when I saw the old man
D#m B C#
He was kicked back workin' on a big R C
D#m B
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
F# C# B
Took him awhile to even notice me
G#m G#m7/C# C#
Sittin' there I thought to myself
F#
Old man (Old Man)
D#m
You got one up on me
B C#
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
D#m G#
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
B G#
Your satisfied as you can be
G#m
Old Man (Old Man)
C# F# D#m F#m D#m
I guess you got one up on me
VERSE:
F#
Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile
E B F#
Said "How ya doin, son?"
F#
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
E B F#
...'cause I'm really in a run."
D#m B C#
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
D#m B
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....
F# C# B
If you wanna see what the good life is.....
G#m G#m7/C# C#
Just get out and visit awhile."
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:

Don't remember just what it was
B C#
The old man said to me
D#m
...But I forgot about catchin' the plane
G#m F#/A# B C#
And opened up the big R. C.
REPEAT CHORUS
C# G#m
...Old Man
C# F# D#m
..You got one up on me Old Man
