The Night I Called The Old Man Out

by Garth Brooks

Biography:

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer songwriter and charity director.

Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances.

[Verse]
Em D
The dining room fell silent, I can't believe what I just said,
Am B7
I just told my dad he's full of it, and I watched his face turn red.
Em C
And I should've said, "I'm sorry", but I matched him shout for shout,
Am B7 Em
I can still hear that screen door slammin', the night I called him out.

[Chorus]
G D Am Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
C D B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
G D Am Em
Coz I'd seen my own dear brothers, crawl back in the house,
C D Em
each time they called the old man out.

[Verse]
Em D
Fist to fist and eye to eye, standin' toe to toe,
Am B7
He would've let me walk away, but I just would not let it go.
Em C
Years of my frustration, had led me to this night,
Am B7 Em
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right.

[Chorus]
G D Am Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
C D B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
G D Am Em
Coz I'd seen my own dear brothers, crawl back in the house,
C D Em
each time they called the old man out.

[Verse]
Em D
It was over in a minute, that's when I realised
Am B7
The blood came from my mouth and nose, but the tears came from his eyes
Em C
And in memory of that faithful night I know the greatest pain was his
Am B7 Em
And I just pray someday I'm half the man he is.

[Chorus]
G D Am Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
C D B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
G D Am Em
Coz I'd seen my own dear brothers, crawl back in the house,
C D Em
each time they called the old man out.

G D Am Em
Just like my own dear brothers, I crawled back in the house
C D Em
The night I called the old man out.
