Start Jamming...
My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know.
[Bb] Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break, but I had to find out [F] on my own.
Now when I look at my own son, I can see what my father went through.
[Bb] Yeah, there's only so much [F] you can do.
[C] You're proud when they walk, scared when they run,
and that's how it always has been between fathers [F] and sons.
[F] It's a bridge [Bb] you can't cross, it's a cross [F] you can't bear.
It's a word [C] you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how [F] much you can.
So you do [Bb] all you can, then you [F] gotta let go.
You're just [C] part of the flow of the river that runs between [F] fathers and sons.
[D] [G]

[G] [D]
[G]
Your mother will try to protect you, yeah she'll hold you as long as she can.
[C] But the higher you climb, the more you can see, boy that's something I [G] understand.
One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you'll want to [B] say,
[C] that he'll have [G] to find his own way.
[D]
Down the road he must take, the course he must run,
that's how it always will be between [G] fathers and sons.
It's [Em] a bridge you [C] can't cross, it's a [G] cross you can't bear.
It's a [D] word you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much [G] you can.
So you [C] do all you can, then you [G] gotta let go.
You're just [D] part of the flow of the river that runs between [G] fathers and sons.
[Dm] So you do [C] all you can, then you gotta [G] let go.
You're just [D] part of the flow of the river that runs between [G] fathers and sons.
