Chords for Between Father and Sons by Waylon Jennings from his album Hangin' Tough

[E] _ [Ab] _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ My father had so much to tell me, _ things he said I had to know.
_ [A] Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break, but I had to find out [E] on my own.
_ _ _ _ _ Now when I look at my own son, I know what my father [A] went through.
_ There's only so much [E] you can do.
_ [B] You're proud when they walk, you're scared when they run.
That's how it always has been between fathers [E] and sons. _ _
_ It's a bridge [A] you can't cross, _ _ it's a cross [E] you can't bear. _ _
It's a word you [B] can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much [E] you care. _ _ _
So you do all [A] you can, _ _ but then you gotta [E] let go. _ _
You're just part of the [B] flow of a river that runs between [E] fathers and sons. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Your mother will try to protect you, _ _ hold you as long as she can.
But [A] the higher you climb, the more you can see, that's something that I [E] understand. _
_ _ _ _ _ One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want [A] to say.
_ But you'll have to find [E] his own way.
_ [B] On the road he must take, the course he must run.
That's how it always has been between fathers [E] and sons. _ _
It's a bridge [A] you can't cross, _ _ it's a cross [E] you can't bear. _ _
It's a word you [B] can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much [E] you care. _ _
So [Abm] you do all [A] you can, _ _ _ but then you gotta let [E] go. _ _ _
You're just part of the [B] flow of a river that runs between fathers [A] and sons. _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
