father and son 

by matthew hill

guitar 1 picking

Tuning: Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)
the timing way wrong, 
but you should be able to play along 
with the cd to get the right timing.

i would say it about 90 % right.
it may be hard to understand, but remember 
i basically done this for my self to understand,
not for you.

riff x2  
        
G                              D       C             Am
it's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy

             G                   Em                Am                    D
you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know

        G               D          C           Am
find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry

         G        Em          Am      D
look at me, i am old but i'm happy

       G               Bm          C            Am
i was once as you are now, and i know it's not easy

        G                Em                   Am   D
to be calm, when you've found something going on

                G               Bm                  C                  Am
but take your time, think a lot,   why think of everything you've got

              G                Em                D        G     Riff x2
for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

        G                 Bm        C             Am
how can i try to explain?    when i do he turns away again

       G              Em             Am
it's always been the same, same old story

D        G               Bm          C          Am
from the moment i could talk, i was ordered to listen
     
               G          Em          D      G
now there's a way, and i know that i have to go away

    D      C     G   riff x1
i know i have to go

          G                    D          C              Am
it's not time to make a change, just sit down, take it slowly

               C                  Em               Am                    D
you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through

        G                 D         C            Am
find a girl, settle down,   if you want you can marry

        G         Em           Am     D
look at me, i am old, but i'm happy

         G               Bm             C                Am7
all the times that i've cried, keeping all the things i knew inside

      G               Em         Am      D
it's hard, but it's harder to ignore it

              G               Bm             C               Am   
if they were right, i'd agree,   but it's them they know not me now

           G         Em           D      G
there's a way and i know, that i have to go away

   D       C      G
i know, i have to go
