Twenty Years Late

****CAPO 4th fret***



INtro after the piano intro - G - D




(verse 1)
A                          G     
 Hey mom I know that it's late, 
               D
hope I didn't wake you,
A                  G             
 yea everything is ok, I just 
        D
needed to talk to you,



(pre-cho)
    Bm
So take it I had one of those days,
    E7
But I didn't call to complain,
        Em                    D/F#
Just to say everything that I did 
                   G
for all of those years,



(1st chorus)
           D        Dsus2     
You were a taxi cab driver, a 
Dsus4         D
nurse  and a maid,
     G
A waitress a cook, and a shoulder to
 lay
     A                             
My head on to cry on, when nothing 
           D-Dsus2-Dsus4-D
was goin my way,
     D         Dsus2        
You knew every answer without 
    Dsus4    D
crackin a book,
    G
And I took for granted that I had it
 so good,
   A
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to 
say,
 G                                 
Thank you, I love you, Twenty Years
     D
 Late,



(verse 2)
A                      G         
 Funny how time passin by can 
              D
change your perspective,
A                            G   
 A little while out on your own, 
               D
can sure make you think,



(pre-cho)
Bm                              
I don't, know how you did it, no I 
E7
can't find one spare minute,
Continúa después del anuncio
     Em                     D/F#  
The days run together but I don't 
                    G
ever remember you, ever,

Lettin us down,


(2nd chorus)
               D           Dsus2   
YOu were the judge and the jury 
Dsus4     D
when I did wrong,
       G
You're my biggest fan from my very 
first song,
     A                             
The gas and the engine that always 
              D-Dsus2-Dsus4-D
kept me movin on,
   D           Dsus2            
A seamstress a counciler, and 
Dsus4     D
the one referee,
      G
that could stop a fight 'tween my 
brother and me,
   A
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to 
say,
 G                                 
Thank you, I love you, Twenty Years
     D
 Late,

Em7                     Bm       
I'll let you go now, But I hope 
              G
you know now, how I feel,
Em                       D/F#
Thank you for makin me the man I've 
become,
Em                           D/F#
 I love you and I will always be 
your son,
G                            A
 mom that's all I called to say,
                G - D
