Chords for Jackson Browne - The Only Child - 10/15/1976 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] Boy of mine, _ _ _ as your fortune [Bb] comes to carry you down [A] the line,
_ _ _ _ and [Dm] you watch while the [F] _ changes [Bb] unfold,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] and you're sought among [F] the stories [Bb] you've been told.
_ _ _ _ If [F] some pieces of [Bbm] the picture are [Dm] hard to find,
_ _ _ and [Bb] the answers to your questions are [C] _ hard to hold,
[Bb] take good care of your mother. _ _
[F] When you're making it up your mind, _
[C] should [Dm] one thing or another [Am] take you [F] far [C] behind. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Though the world may make you [C] hard and wild,
[Bb] and determine how your [F] life is styled,
[Dm] when you come to feel [C] that [Am] you're the [B] only child, _ _ _ _
[Bb] take good care of your brother. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] Let the _ disappointments pass,
_ [F] let the laughter fill your [Dm] glass,
let your delusions last,
[C] _ until [Bb] they shatter.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Whatever you might hope to find,
[F] among the thoughts that [Dm] crash your mind, _
[F] there won't be many that ever really [C] matter.
_ _ _ But take [Bb] good care of your mother, _ _ _
[F] and remember to be kind, _ _
[Dm] when the pain of another [Am] will serve you to [C] remind. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] There are those who feel [C] themselves exiled,
[Bb] upon whom the [F] fortune never smiled,
[Am] and [Dm] upon whose lives [C] the heartache has been [Bm] by.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bb] They're just looking for another _ _ _ [F] lonely child. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] When you've found [B] another soul,
[F] you'll see [Db] that you're [Dm] on, _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] take good care of each other,
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ take [Bb] good care of each other.
_ _ _ [F] _ When you're thinking you're alone,
[Bb] be aware of each other. _
_ _ _ [F] When you're looking for something,
[Bb] take good care of each other,
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
you'll find [Bb] that you're looking _ after each other.
