For the intro part and the second to last instrumental part you hammer the high E string on the first D so
it's 0-hammer-2.
Any time the Dm9 is played, there is also a hammer on from the open G string to the 5th fret, in rhythm with
the song.

Old man, look 

at my life

Old man, look

[Verse]

        
Old man, look 

at my life

Twenty four
            
And there's so

 much more
             
Live alone in 

  
a paradise
             
That makes me 

          
think of two

          
Love lost, suc

h a cost

Give me things
     
That don't get

 lost
             
Like a coin th

   
at won't get t

ossed
             
Rolling home t

    
o you

[Chorus]


Old man, take 

a look at my l

ife
           
I'm a lot like

    
 you

I need someone

 to love me
           
The whole day 

     
through

Ah, one look i

n my eyes
            
And you can te

             
ll that's true


[Instrumental]

          
        


[Verse]

          
Lullabies, loo

k in your eyes
             
Run around the

 
 same old town
             
Doesn't mean t

    
hat much to me
             
To mean that m

        
uch to you

         
I've been firs

t and last
             
Look at how th

  
e time goes pa

st
             
But I'm all al


one at last
             
Rolling home t

    
o you
