[D]
[Bb] [F]
[C] [D] [Bb]
[F] I don't know much [C] about you, [G] I don't know who you [Bb] are
[F] We've been doing fine without [C] you, but we [G] could only go [Bb] so far
I [F]
don't know why you [C] chose us, were [G] you watching from [Bb] above?
[F] Is there someone there that [C] knows us, said [G] we'd give you [F] all our love?
[C] Will you
[Bb] [F]
laugh just like your [C] mother, will you sigh like your old [Bb] man?
Will [F] something skip a [C] generation like a herd they often [Bb] can?
Are you [C] a poet or a [Dm] dancer, [F] a devil [C] or a [Bb] clown?
[F] Or a strange new [Dm]
combination of [Bb] the things we've handed [F]
down?
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
Wonder who you look [C] like, will [D] your hair fall down and [Bb] curl?
Will [F]
you be [C] mama's boy, [D]
daddy's little [Bb] girl?
Will [F] you be a sad [C] reminder of what's [Dm] been lost along the way?
[Bb] [F] Maybe you can help me [C] find her in the [Dm]
things you do [Bb] and say
[F]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [C] And these things we've given [Dm] you, they [F] are not so [C] easily [F] found
Oh, but you can [C] thank us [Dm] later [C] for [Bb] the things we've [C] handed [F] down
[C] The [Dm]
[Bb] things we've handed [F] down, down, down, [Dm] down
[Bb]
[F]
You may not always be so [C]
grateful [Dm] for the way that you were [Bb]
made
[F] Maybe some feature of your [C] fathers that you'd [Dm] gladly sell [Bb] or trade
[F] And one day you may look [C] at us [D] and say that you were [Bb]
cursed
[F] But over time that [Em]
line has been [D] extremely well [Bb] reheard
By [C] our fathers and their [Dm] fathers in some [F]
old and [C] distant [Bb] town
[F] From places no [C] one here [Dm]
remembers come [Bb] the things we've handed [F]
down
[Em] The [D]
[Bb] things we've handed [F]
down, [C] yeah, [D]
[Bb] the things we've handed [F] down
[C] [Dm]
[Bb]
[F]
