My Fathers Chair

Bb   F  Bb  Eb  F  Gm  Eb  F


[Verse 1]
   Bb                   F        
My Father's Chair still standing 
Bb
there
Eb   F      Gm      Eb   F
All alone since the long night
         Bb                 F     
Now it's three years on and I 
  Bb
still feel
Eb         F      Gm      Eb F
He'll come home, we'll be alright
                Dm           Eb
So where's this healing time brings
      F                   Bb
I was told the pain would ease
    Eb       F     Gm       Eb   
But it still hurts like the first 
 F
night
Eb            Bb          Gm    
That night my brother, my mother
     F
 and I
Eb                   Dm
Were looking up at a distant star
     Cm     Bb       Eb         F
And wishing we could reach that far
Continues after the ad
    Eb          Bb
And back in the house
    Gm            F
And alone for the first time
Cm           Bb       Eb    Eb Dm
We told each other we cared
Cm            F        Bb
We avoided My Father's Chair

[Verse 2]
  Bb               F       Bb
I watch my family, we hold on
Eb     F          Gm       Eb F
We are strong and we'll be alright
    Bb                             
The clock continues counting down, 
 F      Bb
all the while
    Eb    F          Gm        
And every child will share the 
Eb   F
long night
           Dm           Eb
But do the spirits meet again
         F                    Bb
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Eb    F    Gm  Eb F
Is my soul everlasting
        Eb          Bb
And the far distant future
       Gm            F
When I knew you'd be gone
Eb                Dm
Came too fast and stays too long
            Cm        Bb
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
    Eb       F
And take the strong
         Eb          Bb
When the world turns sour
          Gm            F
And I get sick from the smell
 Cm              Bb         Eb    
And I can't find no comfort there
Eb Dm

 Cm             F        Bb
I climb into My Father's Chair
