Of Missing Persons

Intro:
|Am      |F       |C/E  F    
|C/G      |
|E       |Am      |F/G       |C

     Am           F          C/E 
Your father was a rounder he 
        F        C/G
played that rock and roll
  E            Am           F/G  
A leaper and a bounder down to 
        C
his gypsy soul
    Am            F         C/E   
The music was his angel and sorrow
 F       C/G
 was his star
    E               Am           
And those of us who follow might 
F/G              C
hope to reach as far


        Dm      Em      F       
They're walking slow in Houston 
C/G        E/G#  Am
speechless in  D.C.
        Dm     Em      F         
There's no way I could tell you 
                C/G     G
what he meant to me


     Am            F            
Your mother's a survivor she'll 
C/E     F       C/G
do what must be done
    E               Am           
Her children will revive her and 
F/G              C
help her see the sun
    Am               F            
She almost knew that unison but 
  C/E      F          C/G
the singing stopped too soon
E                  Am             
Now she shares the silence with a 
F/G           C
man up in the moon

   Dm       Em      F       C/G 
To speak of missing persons 
            E/G# Am
tonight there's only one
    Dm     Em    F               
And we all carry with us what the
         C/G     G
 man's begun


            F/G       C       F/C
And you can sing this song on 
      C
July the Fourth
       F/C   C             F/C    
In the sunny south and the frozen 
C
north
       F/C    C               F  
It's a day of loss, it's your day
    E
 of birth
               Am                  
Does it take a death to learn what 
  F/G
a life is worth?


     Am               F       
Your brothers are all older and 
          C/E     F        C/G
they'll take it in their stride
    E                Am         
The world's a little colder but 
F/G                C
manhood's on their side
    Am                F           
Now you're the little girl-child 
       C/E     F         C/G
and you look so much like him
    E                  Am         
And he's right there inside you 
   F/G              C
each time you want to sing


Dm      Em      F         C/G  
Sing of missing persons tonight
         E/G# Am
 there's only one
    Dm         Em      F         
But he's where you can find him 
                  C/G     G
when it's said and done




            F/G       C       F/C
And we will sing this song on 
      C
July the Fourth
         F/C   C             F/C 
From the sunny south and the 
   C
frozen north
          F/C    C       F      
This will always be your day of 
E
birth
               Am                  
May you always see what your life 
  F/G
is worth
