The Only Child by Jackson Browne
The Only Child
F
Boy of mine
F/A Bb A/C#
As your fortune comes to carry you down the line
Dm Am/C Bb
And you watch as the changes unfold
Dm Am/C Bb
And you sort among the stories you've been told
F A/C# Dm
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
Bb Bb/C
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold
Bb
Take good care of your mother
F
When you're making up your mind
Dm Am C
Should one thing or another take you from behind
Dm F
Though the world may make you hard and wild
Bb F
And determine how your life is styled
Dm C G7/B Bb
When you've come to feel that you're the only child
Bb F
Take good care of your brother
Bb
Let the disappointments pass
F
Let the laughter fill your glass
Dm C Bb
Let your illusions last until they shatter
Bb
Whatever you might hope to find
F Dm
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
F C
There won't be many that ever really matter
Bb
But take good care of your mother
F
And remember to be kind
Dm Am C
When the pain of another will serve you to remind
Dm F
That there are those who feel themselves exiled
Bb F
On whom the fortune never smiled
Dm C G7/B Bb
And upon whose life the heartache has been piled
Bb
They're just looking for another
F
Lonely child
|Bb9 |Bb9 |F |F |
|Bb9 |Bb9 |F |F |
Bb Bdim
And when you've found another soul
F A/C# Dm
Who sees into your own
Bb F
Take good care of each other
|Bb |Bb |F |F | repeat & fade
