Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I had my rent-a-car  flyin' down a two-lane road
Late  for my plane  again
Had  to stop for some gas at this country store
That's  when I saw the  old man
 He was kicked  back workin' on a big R C
Watchin'  Gomer Pyle on his little TV
Took  him awhile to  even notice me
Sittin'  there I thought to myself
 Old man (Old  Man)
 You got one up on me
I'm  still lookin' for my shady  tree
 With your two gas  pumps and your color TV
 Your satisfied  as you can be
 Old Man  (Old Man)
 I guess  you got one up on me
 Well he finally  strolled over with a big 'ol smile
Said  "How ya doin, son?"
I  said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
 ...'cause I'm  really in a  run."
 He said  "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
 If you move  too fast, there's a lot you'll  miss.....
If  you wanna see what  the good life  is.....
 Just get  out and visit awhile."
 REPEAT CHORUS
Don't  remember just what it was
 The old  man said to me
...But  I forgot about catchin' the plane
 And opened  up the big R.  C.
 REPEAT CHORUS
 ...Old  Man
..You  got one up on me  Old Man
 REPEAT SAME CHORDS AND FADE(F, D#m)
