Opposite these chords are what you’ll need for the verse and chorus. I’m showing the two intro chords on the left (as their own group), so you can see how similar the shapes are. Here’s the chords you’ll need for this song. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. I need someone to love me the whole day through. Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you. But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you I've been first and last.look at how the time goes past Doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you. Lullabies, look in your n around the same old town Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true I need someone to love me the whole day through Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you Like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to youġ + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Live alone in a paradise, that makes me think of two

While this is a tricky song, it’s very much possible to simplify each part to make it more accessible without a ton of practice.Ī final note, if the intro is giving you trouble – check out the other video lesson I made, which is a 20 minute deep dive on nailing the strumming of the very difficult first chord.

From start to finish, I’ll teach you each part of the song: the chord shapes, progressions & timing, strumming patterns, and tabs (both beginner-friendly and advanced) for each section. In this lesson I’ll teach you how to play Neil Young’s classic song “Old Man” from his 1972 album Harvest.
