CCR - someday never comes chords
Start Jamming...
[B]
First thing I [F#] remember
[G#m] was [E] asking Papa [Em] why.
[B] Oh, there [G] were many things I [B] didn't know.
And Daddy [F#] always smiled, [G#m] took me by [E] the hand,
saying [B] someday [F#]
you'll [B] understand.
Well, [F#] I'm here to tell you now, this [B] ain't no mother's song.
[F#] You've got a long past, [B] you've got a long year,
[C#m] but someday [E]
it'll never [B] come.
Well, time and tears [F#] went by, [G#m] and I [Em] collected dust.
[B] Oh, there were [G] many things [B] I didn't know.
And Daddy [F#] went away, [G#m] he said, try [E] to be a man.
[B] [F#] And someday you'll [B] understand.
[F#] Oh, I hear [B]
those songs, [F#] you've got a long past,
[B] you've got a long year, [C#m] but someday [E]
it'll [B] never come.
Then one [F#] day in April, [G#m] I wasn't [Em] even there.
[B] Oh, there were [G] many things I [B] didn't know.
That son [F#] was born to me, [G#m] Mama [E] held his hand,
[B] saying someday [F#]
you'll [B] understand.
[E] [B]
[F#] Well, I'm here to tell you now, [B] this ain't no mother's song.
[F#] You've got a long past, [B] you've got a long year,
[C#m] but someday [E]
it'll [B] never come.
[C#m] Oh, someday [E]
it'll [B] never come.
[G]
[C] Thank you, [G] September,
[A] the year [Fm] I went [C] away.
Oh, there [G#] were many things [C] I didn't know.
And I still [G] see him standing, [Am] trying [F] to be a man.
[C] I said someday [G]
you'll [C] understand.
[G] Oh, I hear [C]
those songs, [G] you've got a long past,
[C] you've got a long year, [Dm] but someday [F]
it'll never [C] come.
[Dm] Oh, someday [F]
it'll [C] never come.
