Old Town Pump

G                       C
I remember the old town pump
                      G
Where the old men sat around
                              D7
All of life experiences to be found
                                G
At the old town pump in my home town

                         C
They would sit there and whittle,
                       G
Or break off a chew or two
                         D7
Some were permanent fix- tures
                         G
Others were just passing thru

                                C
The old town pump that everyone knew
                                 G
Now replaced by a water tower of blue
                 D7
And the sage old men,
                   G
Well they are gone too

               C
Oh if I had of listened
                    G
To what they had to say
               D7
I may have av- oided
            G
What I have today

                                C
I miss that chatter of old yes- terday
                               G
All of lifes experiences to be found
                 D7
At that old town pump
           G
In my home town
