These Old Eyes Have Seen It All
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Curly Putman and Bucky Jones

Spoken:

C
The old mans hair was white and his eyes looked tired
He drank his beer at a table all alone
But he smiled when I spoke to him so I sit down for awhile
I wound up sitting there the whole night long
Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mind
So I just sat there and listened I was glad to take the time
Then he said...  

C                                F
I saw Jimmy Rodgers yodel on the stage
          G7                               C
And I saw Hank when they walked him to his grave

I saw a country boy from Memphis 
           F
Change the world with rock and roll
    G7                          C
And these old eyes have seen it all

Then he said...  

                                          F
I saw friends of mine on foreign soil die proud
      G7                                            C
I saw things over there son that I still can't talk about
                                       F
I saw a crazy man named Hitler and his army rise and fall
    G7                          C
Yes these old eyes have seen it all

F     G7                    C
These old eyes have seen it all
        F                                G7
Now the hands of time are writing on the wall
F            G7              C                        F
Telling me I won't have long waiting till my Jesus to calls
G7                          C
These old eyes have seen it all

                            F
I saw my sweet Mary love me fifty years
       G7                             C
With a trembling hand he wiped away a tear
                                    F
He said my memories of Mary are the sweetest I recall
    G7                          C
And these old eyes have seen it all

F         G7                C
These old eyes have seen it all
           F                                  G7
They saw a man walk on the moon and come back home
    F                  G7              C               F
And I know it won't be very long until I hear my Jesus call
G7                          C
These old eyes have seen it all 

    G7                          C
Son these old eyes have seen it all
