Father Mother Son

G                     Am         
Father, thanks for playing with 
     C
my friends and me.
Am                    C          
I'm glad they got to meet the man
     D   Dsus2...
 I know.
G                     Am         
You always knew the words and 
          C
taught me honesty.
Bm                Cadd9          
Picked me up when I was feeling 
     D   Dsus2
low.
G            D               G  
If I could talk to you just one 
        Em
more time,
Am                   C           
I know you'ld work things out 
         D   Dsus2
just like before.
G                Am            G
Where did I go wrong? Can you 
                  C
hear me sing this song?
Am              D         G
Father I won't see you anymore.

G                 Am              
Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry
C
 those tears.
Am                      C         
You knew someday your baby'd be a 
 D   Dsus2
man.
G              Am               
Letting go is hard when it's forever
C
 dear.
Am                    C 
I know it's late but now I 
         D   Dsus2
understand.
G            D                 
If I could hold you hand just 
Am        C
one more time,
Em                Am             
and hear your lullabies just like
     D   Dsus2
 before.
G                   Am       
I know that I did wrong, so I'm 
      G               Am
singing you this song.
Am               C         G
Mother, I won't see you anymore.

G                Am              
Son, I wish you knew how much 
       C
we're missing you.
Am                     C         
I saw them cry their tears from 
    D   Dsus2
up above.
G                    Am          
I try to tell them, but the words
           C
 aren't getting through,
Am                C           
I didn't mean to hurt the ones I 
    D  Dsus2
love.
G          D       Am            
Mother, Father I hope to see you 
  C
soon,
     Am                   C       
and things will be just like they 
        D
were before.
      G              Am    
I'm sending all my love, I'm 
    G             Am
watching from above...
      Am              C      
and I'll be in your dreams for 
      G
evermore.
