father and son
by matthew hill
guitar 1 picking
Tuning: Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)
the timing way wrong,
but you should be able to play along
with the cd to get the right timing.
i would say it about 90 % right.
it may be hard to understand, but remember
i basically done this for my self to understand,
not for you.

riff x2
G D C Am
it's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy
G Em Am D
you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
G D C Am
find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
G Em Am D
look at me, i am old but i'm happy
G Bm C Am
i was once as you are now, and i know it's not easy
G Em Am D
to be calm, when you've found something going on
G Bm C Am
but take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you've got
G Em D G Riff x2
for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
G Bm C Am
how can i try to explain? when i do he turns away again
G Em Am
it's always been the same, same old story
D G Bm C Am
from the moment i could talk, i was ordered to listen
G Em D G
now there's a way, and i know that i have to go away
D C G riff x1
i know i have to go
G D C Am
it's not time to make a change, just sit down, take it slowly
C Em Am D
you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
G D C Am
find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
G Em Am D
look at me, i am old, but i'm happy
G Bm C Am7
all the times that i've cried, keeping all the things i knew inside
G Em Am D
it's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
G Bm C Am
if they were right, i'd agree, but it's them they know not me now
G Em D G
there's a way and i know, that i have to go away
D C G
i know, i have to go
