Things My Father Said

Bm G D A

[Verse 1]
Bm             G
The things my father said
       D                A
Would make me a better man
Bm                 G
Hard work and the love of friends
   D                A
A woman that understands
G          Bm               D                      A
I hope my father knows the seeds we've sown still grow
G          Bm              Em        G         A   D
At night I go to sleep and pray he's watching over me

[Refrain]
D                   A
Somewhere theres a star thats shining
Em             G         A    D
So bright that I can see you smile
D               A                 Em
And all that I need is one last chance
         G                   Bm  G  D  A
Just to hear you say... Goodbye...

[Verse 2]
Bm              G
Sometimes I remember when
      D                  A
You taught me to tie my shoes
Bm               G
One day I will never forget
        D          A
Is the day I lost you
G            Bm             Em           G           A     D
I hope you always know, the car that we built will always run

[Refrain]
D                   A
Somewhere theres a star thats shining
Em             G         A    D
So bright that I can see you smile
D               A                 Em
And all that I need is one last chance
         G                  C
Just to hear you say... Goodbye...

[Bridge]
C           Em
And if you have a dream
        C                      Em F# G C
You'd better hang on for dear life
C              Em
And when that cold wind blows
      G             A
Just let it pass you by


D A   G A                     D
  Yeeeah... Things my father said
A   G    A
Yea-ah! Yeah yeah yeah!!!

So bright that I can see you smile
D               A                 Em
And all that I need is one last chance
         G                   Bm  G  D  A
Just to hear you say... Goodbye...
