The Fathers Song

Am                      E7       
That's another day gone by, son, 
            Am
close your eyes
C                       G   
For the moon is chasing clouds 
               F
across the skies
Am                       E7
Got to sleep and have no fear, son
         C               G     F
For your mam and dad are near, son
        G               F         
And the giant is just a shadow on 
    E7
the wall

Am                       E7      
Go to sleep and when you wake it 
        Am
will be light
C                           G    
There's no need to fear the 
           F
darkness of the night
Am                         E7
It's not like the dark you find, son
       C                    G      
In the depths of some men's minds, 
F
son
      G                F          
That defies the daily coming of 
  E7
the dawn

Am                   E7          
Stop crying now, let daddy dry 
   Am
your tears

C                      G     
There's no bogeyman to get you, 
         F
never fear
Am                       E7
There's no ogres, wicked witches
     C              G   F
Only greedy sons-of-bitches
        G            F            
Who are waiting to exploit your 
    E7
life away

Am               E7              
Lie easy in your bed and grow up 
Am
strong
C                          G     
You'll be needing all your 
              F
strength before too long
Am                         E7
For you'll soon be on your way, son
         C             G    F
Fighting battles every day, son
        G         F               
With an enemy who thinks he owns 
   E7
the world

Am                E7             
Don't you let 'em buy you out or 
           Am
break your pride
C                         G      
Don't you let yourself be used 
         F
then cast aside
Am                     E7
If you listen to their lying
          C            G F
They will con you into dying
 G              F                 
You won't even know that you were 
     E7
once alive

Am                       E7      
No more talking now it's time to 
      Am
go to sleep
C                         G      
There are answers to your 
               F
questions but they'll keep
Am                     E7
Go on asking while you grow, son
      C               G     F
Go on asking till you know, son
         E7               F       
And then send the answers ringing 
            G
through the world
         G                F       
And then send the answers ringing 
            E7
through the world
