Bb Oh, and if you
C feel like it, then
Eb please
F sing along.
Bb No, nothing
C that I want to say
Eb I haven't said
F before.
But
Bb to use your
C words,
Eb you can never be
F too sure.
Eb See, even though I
F don't always show, I'm glad that

F would have gone left.
But,
Bb son, that's
Eb all right.

Bb Oh, Dad, your
Eb views in life, tell me how they
F came to be.
Well,
Bb see, I didn't
Eb know my father like the way that

Gm Oh, and life is just too
