Chords for "Oh, Father" (original song)

[Bbm] _ [F] _ I was born to [C] a man in the [G] winter of [F] 85
_ Hennessy in [C] my blood and the [G] salt in my lungs [F] at night
I've heard stories [C] about how when they [G] took me away [A] you cried
Oh [F] daddy, don't [Cm] let them take me [G] tonight
[F] I was born to [C] a man who [G] only loves [F] his name
So he wrapped it [C] around me and [G] again when my brother [F] came
Oh these pills don't [C] go easy and [G] now I know [A] his pain
Oh [F] daddy, don't [C] let them see you [G] this way
[A] _ [F] Now I am [C] a ruthless tree, a ship that [Am] is lost at [F] sea
Yeah [C] he took the sail, [G] _ _
_ [A] _ [G] [F] I'm burning, [C] I'm burning slow
I [G] want you to [Am] know [G] I know [F] they are not [C] the end of me
[G] _ [A] [G] Oh father, [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ I was born to a [C] man who [G] drinks himself to [F] death
Worked his hands to the [C] bone, gave his [G] time, there was none of you [F] left
Goes to church every [C] Sunday, he [G] knows his soul is [A] damned
Oh [F] daddy, [C] don't do this all night [G] again
[A] _ [G] [F] Now I [C] am a ruthless tree, a ship that is [Am] lost at sea
[F] Yeah [C] he took the sail from me
_ [Am] _ [F] I'm burning, I'm [C] burning slow
I [B] want you to [Am] know I know [F] they are not the [C] end of me _
_ [Am] [G] Oh father, [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [G] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] there was a time when I [F] would feed inside those [C] [G] arms
[A] Put my tiny feet [F] on yours and we'd [C] dance the floor
[G] Now [A] who's gonna walk [F] me down, I don't know [C]
anymore
You [G] are a sinking ship, [A] I have [F] seen the shore _
_ [Am] _ [F] Now I am a [C] ruthless tree, a ship that [Am] is lost [C] at [F] sea
Yeah he took [Cm] the sail from [G] _
_ [Am] _ [F] me
I'm burning, [C] I'm burning slow
I [G] want you [A] to know I know [F] they are not [C] the end of me
[G] [A] Oh [G] father
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ [F] Where [C] are you
[G] Oh father, [A] forget you
Oh [F] father, where [C] are you
Oh [G] father, [A] forget you
Oh [F] father, where [C] are you
Oh [G] father, [A] forget you
[D] [F] Oh father, where [C] are you?
Oh [G] father, forgive [A] you.

[G] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [N] Hey guys, it's Megan and I am in Nashville right now.
But I wanted to share this song with you.
Obviously I've been going through some stuff the past week.
If you watched this video or listened to this podcast.
I don't know what's going to happen with this song.
If it's going to be released at some point.
If it's going to be on an album at some point.
But the dope thing is I have a Patreon and every month I write up 2-4 original songs.
And I've been doing that for over a year and it has been incredible.
There's been a lot of music that I've put out there that I don't know what will ever happen to it.
But there's a very cool group of people that kind of get to workshop that with me and listen to it.
And let me know what they think.
If you think that you would be interested in being a part of that group.
This is a time to join.
I'm not going to release this song.
Except on Patreon.
And I'm going to do that tomorrow at 11.30pm PST.
So you have time to think about joining.
And if you want to do that.
Thank you Olin Rogers for bringing me out.
It's been a hard week but it was really nice [C] to come out and meet all of [G] you nice people.
And thank you to Rachel for letting me stay [F] in your apartment and have your [C] dope pink lighting.
And a huge huge thank you to Gibson [N] who has always been just so supportive.
And sent that guitar out for me.
Like dropped it off at my door so that I could play that this weekend.
And finally before I go, I dropped an EP.
Just happened.
Did it.
If you want a physical copy there's only a few hundred copies between me and DFTBA.
So you either have to get it from them or you have to get one of the hundred copies that I will be carrying around this summer.
It's called Things with Friends [C] because it's a bunch of things that I did with friends.
And I like your faces
