Dan + Shay - The Old Guys Chords (EASY VERSION)

Intro

Verse

God forbid you go before I do
That'd

be the start of the hell that I'd go through

I'd be thr

ee sheets deep in Boston
Maybe lost in Baton Rouge

God forbid you go before I

doChorusI'd be The

Possum in the ground
I'd be Whitley on the brown
He stopped

loving her today
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'd be

Merle locked in San Quentin
I'd have a real **** hard time quittin'
I'd have

no reason and no why
I'd be lonely as the crow flies
I'd be a

goner on a stool

F#m

With a j

ukebox and a few of the

Next to some broke heart out getting drunk

A/C#

I'd

tell him 'bout the girl I got to love
And

how I'd

never find another
And I sure wouldn't want to

God forbid you go a single day before I doChorusI'd be The

Possum in the ground
I'd be Whitley on the brown
He stopped

loving her today
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'd be M

erle locked in San Quentin
I'd have a real **** hard time quittin'
I'd have

no reason and no why
I'd be lonely as the crow flies
I'd be a

goner on a stool

F#m

With a j

ukebox and a few of the

long slide on a steel guitar
Another

long night in another barChorusI'd be The

Possum in the ground
I'd be Whitley on the brown
He stopped l

oving her today
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'd be

Merle locked in San Quentin
I'd have a real **** hard time quittin'
I'd have

no reason and no why
I'd be lonely as the crow flies
I'd be a

goner on a stool
