I worked long and hard and I found out the real chords for this song. Just a little second finger picking and you should have it.

The Very Old Man
By: Hum
Tabbed by Merrye Curry
comments corrections and suggestions to merrye@earthling.net
This time, I fixed up a few things making it a bit easier to play.
Keep in mind that this is the pattern of the first verse only. The
other two verses are very similar but the rhythm is
somewhat adlibbed. The chord structures are the same.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HUM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
