[C] First thing I [G] remember was [Am] askin' papa, [F] "Why?",
For [C] there were many [F] things I [C] didn't know.
[C] And Daddy always [G] smiled; [Am] took me by the [F] hand,
Sayin', " [C] Someday [F] you'll under [C] stand."
Well, I'm [G] here to tell you now each and [C] ev'ry mother's son
You [G] better learn it fast; you [C] better learn it young,
'Cause, " [Dm] Someday" [F] Never [C] Comes."
[C] Well, time and tears [G] went by and I [Am] collected [F] dust,
For [C] there were [F] many things I [C] didn't know.
[C] When Daddy went [G] away, he said, [Am] "Try to be [F] a man,
And, [C] Someday [F] you'll under [C] stand."

Well, I'm [G] here to tell you now each and [C] ev'ry mother's son
You [G] better learn it fast; you [C] better learn it young,
'Cause, " [Dm] Someday" [F] Never [C] Comes."
[C] And then, one day in [G] April, I [Am] wasn't even [F] there,
For [C] there were [F] many things I didn't [C] know.
[C] A son was born to [G] me; [Am] Mama held his [F] hand,
Sayin' " [C] Someday [F] you'll under [C] stand."
Well, I'm [G] here to tell you now each and [C] ev'ry mother's son
You [G] better learn it fast; you [C] better learn it young,
'Cause, " [Dm] Someday" [F] Never [C] Comes."
[C] Think it was [G] September, the year [Am] I went [F] away,
For [C] there were [F] many things I [C] didn't know.
[C] And I still see him [G] standing, [Am] try'n' to be a [F] man;
I said, " [C] Someday [F] you'll under [C] stand."
Well, I'm [G] here to tell you now each and [C] ev'ry mother's son
You [G] better learn it fast; you [C] better learn it young,
'Cause, " [Dm] Someday" [F] Never [C] Comes."
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
