A
I used to run in a young man's boots
E
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
F#m Bm(with a hammer-on on B string)
But now I stand where a young man stood before
A
I don't run like I used to
E A
This old man don't run no more
Chorus:
F#m E
Hey hidee ho
G#m F#m E
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
D
Where the river run still
A
And the water don't flow
Dmaj F#m
Heaven couldn't stop me then
E
Hey Hidee hi
G#m
Good lord willin
F#m E
And the creek don't rise
D
And life goes by
A
Like the fireflies
E A
Where the devil sits with a grin
