Old Man Lyrics
By Neil Young

Welcome to this Old Man Lyrics page where you'll find the song lyrics to this song along with my acoustic guitar demo.

This classic song is from the 1972 Harvest album. It reached #31 on Billiboard that same year. The song is about a caretaker of the Broken Arrow Ranch Young purchased for $350,000 at that time.

Note: I no longer provide tabs because the web is full of them, but here are the chords
needed for this song ... F-C-G-D-Am-Em
Intro chord is a D formation on the 5th fret
with an open E 1st string and a hammer-on on the G string.

Old man look at my life ... I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life, ... I'm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life, 24 and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise .. that makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost, ... give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes ... run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me ... to mean that much to you
I've been first and last ... look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last ... rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

Old man look at my life ... I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life ... I'm a lot like you were
