[F#] [F#m]
[F#] To [F#m] my father, [F#] word of your [F#m] sons, All [A] of your children, even the ones,
Sent out [Em] to [E] murder, to face the gun, [D] Precious bodies, opposed to bombs,
[D] Then on, [Bm] then on, to [E] take the path, Where [C#m] our bright [Bm] future, is [E] in our past.
To [F#m] my father, word of reason, Say [A] what you will, be what you want,
The [E] record shows, what we are not, Our [D] true desires, not our good thoughts,
Then on, [Bm] then on, to take [E] the path, Where our [Bm] bright future, is in [E] our past.
To [F#m] my father, what [F#m] have you done, [A] To the children, born innocent,
What [E] come to harm, for dreams of glory, And [D] destiny, in history,
Then on, [Bm] then on, to take [E] the path, Where our [Bm] bright future, is [E] in our past.
