C C/B Am
Now and then, an old friend of mine,
F G
I've not seen for sometime,
C C/B Am
will stop by and ask me,
F G
where've you been, what's on your mind,
F G
they wonder why I'm not drinking,
C C/B Am
and still painting this old town red,
F G
I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,
F G C
and the old man is dead.
F G
The man you see before you,
C C/B Am
may look a lot the same,
F G
I may wear the same old clothes,
C C/B Am
and still have the same old name,
F G
but your looking on the outside,
C C/B Am
if you could see inside instead,
F G
you would see a brand new man, cause,
F G C
the old man is dead.
C C/B Am
I used to live such a wicked life,
F G
I had no hope in sight,
C C/B Am
I was lost in darkness,
F G
just searching for a light,
F G
and then one night in a little church,
C C/B Am
after hearing what the preacher said,
F G
I gave my life to Jesus,
F G C
and the old man was dead.
(Chorus)
