My Fathers Song

G                           C/G
 When I was just a little child
     Em7                      D7
We'd climb in this old family car
G                  C/G
 And Daddy would start to sing
Em7                   D
 Before we rode very far
Am                 C/G
 I really don't remember
       Fmaj7
If his songs were quite on key
Am                         Fmaj7
 But that didn't matter to me
          Dsus      D   C
It was my Father's song


[Chorus]
D               G           Bm7
 And he sings a song of love
               Em
And a song of caring
     C                 G
You sing it with your heart
     Am                D
You sing it with your life
                   G
And it's a song of giving
Bm7         Em
 Of giving much more than you're asked
C                         G
 Knowing that what you've done for Christ
   Am  D   C                 G
Is all that is going to last


[Verse 2]
Bm7         Em7
 As I grew up I heard that song
C                G
 Time and time again
Bm7                 Em7
 A gentle word or a tender touch
C                       D
 And that song would begin
Am7                    C/G
 I've heard it in his laughter
        Fmaj7
And it moves me more and more
Am                   C/G
 I can see it in his eyes
        Fmaj7
When he talks about the Lord
        Dsus      D
It's my Father's song


[Verse 3]
       G
And if I were the greatest musician
         Em              D
Who ever walked upon a stage
G
 If I could sing any song I liked
     Em                  D
Any instrument I could play
Am                  C/G
 I wouldn't need a piano
           Fmaj7
I wouldn't need a violin
Am                   C/G
 I'd choose a heart filled with his love
Fmaj7
 And then I'd begin
           Dsus      D  Dsus  D
To sing my Father's song
    D#sus  D#  C#
His song


[End Chorus]
D#                 G#
 And I'd sing that song of love
D#                 Fm
 And that song of caring
     C#                G#
You sing it with your heart
 C#                    D#
You sing it with your life
                    G#
And it's a song of giving
D#          Fm
 Of giving much more than you're asked
C#                         G#
 Knowing that what you've done for Christ
   A#m D#                       C#
Is all that is really gonna last
             G#
Like my Father's song
