1. Hope everybody's ringing on
their own bell, this fine morning,
C G -
F C
hope everyone's connected to
that long distance phone.
G C - G Am
Old man, he's a mountain, old man, he's an island,
F Dm
old man, he's a-waking says,
F Dm C + F - C (4x)
“I'm going to call, call all
my children home.“
C G F Am
2. Hope everybody's dancing to their own drum
this fine morning,
C G F C
the beat of
distant
G C - G Am
Old man, he's calling for his
supper, calling for his whisky,
F Dm
calling for his sons and
daughters,
F

calling,
calling all his children round.

3. Sharp ears are tuned in to
the drones and chanters warning,
C G F C
mist blowing round some
headland, somewhere in your memory.
G C - G Am
Everyone is from somewhere, even if you've never been there,
F Dm
so take a minute to remember
F Dm C
the part of
you that might be the old man calling me.

4. How many wars you're
fighting out there, this winter's
morning?
C G F C
Maybe it's always time for
another Christmas song.
G C
Old man he's asleep now.
G Am
he’s got appointments to keep
now,
F Dm F
dreaming of his sons and daughters,
and proving,
Dm C
proving that
the blood is strong.

Tull)
