[Intro]
| D | D G | D | D G |
[Verse 1]
D G G/F#
I remember old Dan Cotton, so old that he'd forgotten .
Em7 A D | D G |
Just how long he'd been floatin' through this life
D
He said that he'd fought against the Indians
G
And his daddy was an old line trapper
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. And he thinks that once or twice he'd had a wife
[Verse 2]
D
I used to go down by the river after school
G
When old Dan was relaxin' with a fishpole (down by the river)
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. And I'd ask him what he could offer a young, young boy
D G
Dan would start a-reminiscin' and sharin' his words of wisdom
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. And I remember I used to listen to him with joy
[Chorus 1]
D D/E D/F#
Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
G G/F#
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
Em7 A D | D G |
I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for
D D/E D/F#
Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
G G/F#
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
Em7 A D | D G |
I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for
[Verse 3]
D
Then one day we couldn't find old Dan
G
And for a while he didn't come around
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. And I heard from the folks that he'd gone to the hills alone
D
Well, I admit I was a little bit worried
G
Because Dan was so old and just a little foolhardy
G/F# Em7 A D | D D/E D/F# |
But I knew in my heart that he'd soon be a-comin' back home
[Chorus 2]
G
Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
F#m
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
Em7 A D | D D/E D/F# |
I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for
G
Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
F#m
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you
Em7 A D | D G |
I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for
[Verse 4]
D
Then came the message from old Doc Jones
G
That Dan's time had finally come
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. So I rushed to his side in the shack that he called home
D
Inside my heart I was feelin' so sad
G
But when I looked into that old man's eyes
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. . I felt such a peace 'cause I knew that he was goin' home
[Verse 5]
D
He couldn't really speak 'cause he was now so weak
G
But he managed a tiny smile
G G/F# Em7 A D | D G |
. And in a glance I knew that he'd found what he was lookin' for
D
I knew what he'd found in the woods that day
G G G/F#
'Cause when I looked at him the very last time . .
Em7 A D | D7 D/E D/F# |
I looked into the face of a man who had found the Lord
[Chorus 3]
G
Old Dan, somethin' happened to you
F#m
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happened to you
Em7 A D | D7 D/E D/F# |
I know that you finally found what you're lookin' for
G
Old Dan, somethin' happened to you
F#m
Yes, old Dan, somethin' happened to you
Em7 A D
You're still the old Dan that I love, but you're somethin' more
[Outro]

I have to admit that this song didn't hold up as well over the years as I thought it had.
But as long as I made a chart, I might as well post it.
