Father Son
Tuning: Standard
[Intro] A D A D A D A
A A/Ab F#m F#m A/E D A D/B A/C# E
Father, son Locked as one In this empty room
A A/Ab A/G F#m A/E D A D/B A/C# E
Spine against spine Yours against mine Till the warmth comes through
D A/C# D/F# A/E
Remember the breakwaters down by the waves
D A/C# G/B F#m/A
I first found my courage Knowing daddy could save
E/G# A D E/G# A D
I could hold back the tide With my dad by my side
A A/Ab F#m F#m A/E D
Dogs, plows and bows We move through each pose
A D/B A/C# E
Struggling in our separate ways
A A/Ab A/G F#m A/E D
Mantras and hymns Unfolding limbs
A D/B A/C# E
Looking for release through the pain
D A/C# D/F# A/E
And the yogi's eyes are open Looking up above
D A/C# G/B F#m/A
He too is dreaming of his daddy's love
E/G# A D E/G# A D E D
With his dad by his side Got his dad by his side
C# D C# D
Can you recall How you took me to school
A D/B A E
We couldn't talk much at all
E D C# D C# D A D/B A/C# E
It's been so many years And now these tears Guess I'm still your child
A A/Ab F#m F#m A/E D A D/B A/C# E
Out on the moors We take a pause See how far we have come
A A/Ab A/G F#m A/E D
You're moving quite slow How far can we go
A D/B A/C# E
Father and son
[Bridge]
