Song: The Story of My Old Man Band: Good Charlotte Album: The Young And The Hopeless Tabbed by: Josiah (guitarvibe55@yahoo.com) This is a really easy song. The lyrics might not be completely correct but i don't know because the CD i have is burned. Verse 1: Power chords of course
I don?t know too much about too mE5uch of my old F#5man I kB5now he walked right out the door and we nE5ever saw him aF#5gain LB5ast I heard he was at the bar dE5oin? himselfF#5 in I kB5now I got that same disease I got sE5tuck with it from F#5him
Chorus: Guitar 1
G#5This is the sF#5tory of my old E5man G#5Just like his F#5father before E5him I?m tG#5ellin? you do F#5anything you E5can So G#5you don?t end F#5up just like tE5hem....like them
Chorus: Guitar 2 G--8-8-8886-6-6664-4-4444-4-444-| D--x-x-xxxx-x-xxxx-x-xxxx-x-xxx-| A--6-6-6664-4-4442-2-2222-2-222-| PLAY 4X DURING CHORUS Verse 2: Clean picking (regular chords, not power chords)
BMonday he G#mwoke up and Ehated life BDrank until G#mWednesday and lEeft his wife TBhursday through SG#maturday lost Eeverything B G#m E(stop) Woke up on Sunday miserable again
Interlude between verses 2 and 3: G--4-4-4444-4-444-| D--x-x-xxxx-x-xxx-| A--2-2-2222-2-222-| PLAY 3X Verse 3: Interlude E5 F#5 I remember baseball games and working on the car

REPEAT CHORUS REPEAT VERSE 2 but instead of stopping at the end, keep the chord progression going a couple more times. Break: Just play the chorus the same way with both guitars Verse 4:
SB5omeday he?ll G#5wish that he?d E5made things right (made things right) LB5ong for his fG#5amily and mE5iss his wife (miss his wife) ReB5member the G#5days he had eE5verything (everything) B5 G#5 E5(stop) Now he?s alone and miserable again
That?s it. That song rocks. It is one of the many songs about Joel?s dad (others include Complicated, Emotionless. Little Things and Waldorf Worldwide mention him). This tab is pretty much accurate so have fun with it. Peace out!
