Here's a little story about a father-son relationship that never quite seemed to get off the ground.
We won't tell you about it, we'll try to sing for you.
[B] Tell you the story all about the phone call.
[G]
[F]
Yeah, when he got the phone call, it gave him quite a [Bb] fright.
Cause the call from home was rare enough, especially at [F] midnight.
[C] So [F] he took kind of nerve, a voice said, this is dad.
[Bb] I said, you make me [F] really sad.
[C]
Oh, I've been a hard man to live [F] with in my life.
[C] The fact that I just didn't care, cause all we did was fight.
[C] And you probably hate me for leaving you [Bb] alone.
But I still [F] love you, sir.
[C] [F] You were fortunate, that bully blacked you right.
I didn't [Bb] track you down, I made you fight, until you bled and cried.
And I [F] know that's one of many things that I did wrong.
[Bb] The golden bridge between us two, drove you from our [F] home.
[C] Made you give up football, [Bb] so you could go out and play.
[C] I made you give up Julie, [Bb] and maybe she [F] got away.
[C] Cause you probably hate me more [Bb] than you need to know.
But I still [F] love you, sir.
And [Bb] I said, for all the love I never gave, I'm sorry for [F] that dad.
And I [Bb] said, for all the things I didn't say, [F] I wanna say some hi-five.
[C] I guess I'd better hang up, cause I'm probably called too late.
[C] If you could find it in your heart to forgive [F] me, that'd be great.
You probably hate me more than you need to know.
But I still love you, sir.
[Bb]
[F]
He heard the doorbell, and in his front doorbell,
[Bb] And his mother stood there all alone, [F] looking very [C] well.
[F] She said I drove three hours, and didn't make one stop.
[Bb] Cause her angry daddy passed [F] away just before eight o'clock.
[F] [C] First he talked about you, like he ain't [F] done in years.
[C] You might not believe it, [Bb] but daddy cried real [F] tears.
Cause you [C] probably hate me more than you [Bb] need to know.
But I still [F] love you, sir.
And I said, [Bb] for all the love I never gave, I'm sorry for that dad.
And I said, for all the things I didn't say, I wanna say some hi-five.
