Dance With My Father Chords & Tabs
Dance With My Father Chords
this is a really emotional song that i really love. tried to get the chords but
none of the submitted tabs and chords seems to work for me. i haven't tried
strumming this song with this chords but this works for me with my plucking style.
[Verse 1]
G D
Back when i was a child
C9 D
Before life removed all the innocence
G D
My father would lift me high
C9 D
And dance with my mother and me and then
G D
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Am7 C9
Then up the stairs he would carry me
Am7 D
And I knew for sure I was loved
[Chorus]
G D
If I could get another chance
Em7 C9
Another walk, another dance with him
Am7 Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
C9 D G
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 2]
G D
When I and my mother would disagree
C9 D
To get my way I would run from her to him
G D
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/luther_vandross/dance_with_my_father_crd_ver_6.html ]
C9 D
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Em7 C9
Later that night, when I was asleep
Am7 C9
He left a dollar under my sheet
Am7 D
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[Chorus]
G D
If I could steal one final glance
Em7 C9
One final step, one final dance with him
Am7 Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end
C9 D G
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
[Verse 3]
C D
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
G Em7
I'd hear how my mother cried for him
C9 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
C9 D
I'd pray for her even more than me
[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE

Every night I fall asleep
