I recently got asked to become a godfather and being a soft, sensitive, artistic type, I decided to write a song about it.
This is the song for [B] you.
[D] [A]
[B] [D] [A]
Even May, I [D] remember the day you [A] were born
It [D] was the summer
[A]
Mom and Dad called [D] me up to say [A] how proud they [D] were
[Bm]
Voices ringing [D] with the love of a [A] newborn child
[Bm] Light shining [D] in their eyes, [A] expectance in mine
[D]
[A] Even May, [D] while your father and I [A] have been friends
For [D] many years
[A] Watched the world [D] around us change
Poked [A] our holes, [D] feared our fears
[Bm] He asked me [D] to watch you as you [A] grow
[Bm]
Hold your hand through [D] the heights unless you are from [A]
below
Now even [F#m] May, don't [D] you judge me too hard
[A] While I try to be a good man, make [E] the best of what I've got
And [F#m] even May, I [D] will teach you what I know
[E] Watch over you everywhere [A] that you go
[D] [B]
[A] [B] [D] [A]
Even May, [D] I have made many [A] mistakes
In [D] my time, [A]
I've burned my share [D] of bridges and broken [A] hearts
I've [D] told lies
[Bm]
I have not [D] always followed my [A] own advice
[Bm] I've fallen flat, [D] but even darling, sometimes [A] that's just life
[Em]
[D] [A] Even May, [D] with the weight that I [B] have, I might not much be [D] around
[A] But I'll stop in from time to time and [A] try to share the things [D] I've learned
[Bm] That you should keep your [D] friends and family close
And you should always, always, always, always try to [A] say yes
[B]
[Bm] We could none of us [D] ever be perfect, but even darling, we [A] could try our best
[Em] So even [C#] May, [D] I won't ever judge you hard
Just [A] try to be a good girl, make the [E] best with what you have
And [C#] even May, [D] I will teach you what I know
[E] Watch over you everywhere that you [D] go
Everywhere [A] you go
This is the song for [B] you.
