[Verso 1]

Gm               Bb            A           G#
There I was just mindin' my own business
Gm               Bb            A           G#
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye
Gm               Bb            A           G#
I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life
Gm               Bb            A           G#
Well, it was the day my Father died
Gm               Bb            A           G#
So I turned and I fled, but that shadow gave chase
Gm               Bb            A           G#
Caught me down a dead end way
Gm               Bb            A           G#
To my surprise when he opened his mouth

Well, I could hear my Father say

[Estribillo]

A                                       Bb    Fm
He said, "Son, I know just where you've been, yeah
Bb         G#                             Gm
And I know just how you'll meet your end
A                                         Fm    Bb
You better turn from the path that you're on
G#                                    Gm
Lest you end up just like your old man
G#              Gm                Bb
HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE there man! Like
        A              G#
Did you forget who you were?
            Gm             Bb    A
You used to beat my mother down
G#        Gm                   Bb          A        G#
Well, she left your sorry ass, because you wouldn't choose

Your wife and son over your booze
A      Bb      A     Fm    Bb       G#                    Gm
Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you USED to be
A                                    Fm    Bb
You better go back to where you belong, ohh
G#                             Gm
And maybe then you'll begin to see
Bb   A   G#   Gm   Bb   A   G#
Ohhhhh
Gm   A   G#   Bb   Gm
Oooooh
