Dance With My Father Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ [C] That _ _ [Bb] _ .
_ _ _ when I was [F] a _ _ _ child, _ _ [Eb] _ .
_ _ _ before life removed [F] all the _ anus, [Bb] _ .
_ _ my father [F] would lift me up _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
and.
_ [Eb] _ dance with [Cm] my mother [F] and me.
And [Bb].
then spin me around till [Eb] I fell asleep, _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ .
_ then up the stairs he [Bb] would carry me, _ _ and.
I [C].
knew for sure _ _ I [F] was _ loved.
_ _ _ [Bb] If I could _ get _ [Am] _ .
another [F] _ _ chance, _ [Gm] _ .
another _ walk, _ _ [Eb] _ .
another _ _ dance with [Cm] him, _ I'd dance all night.
but [Gm] _ .
never ever, how [Eb] I'd love, love, _ love [F] to dance with my father _ [Bb] _ .
_ again.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb].
When I and my mother would [F] _ .
disagree, _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
to get my [Bb] way I would [Eb].
run [F] from [Bb] her to him.
_ He'd make me laugh [F] just to comfort me, _ yeah, [Eb] yeah.
Then _ [Bb] finally make [F] me do just what my mama [Bb] said.
_ Later that night when I [Eb].
was asleep, _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ .
he left the dollar [Bb] under my sheet.
_ Never [C].
dreamed that he would be [Cm].
gone from [F] _ me.
_ [Bb] If I could _ steal [F] one final _ glance, _ [Gm] one final _ step, _ [Eb] one _ final dance with [Cm] him, I'd play a.
song that [Gm] would _ never ever end, cause I'd [Eb].
love, love, love _ [F] to dance with my father _ [Bb].
again.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
_ Sometimes I'd listen _ [F].
outside her _ door, _ _ [Bb].
and I'd hear how my [F] mother [Gm].
cried for _ _ him.
_ _ [Eb] _ .
_ I'd pray for her even [F].
more than _ me.
_ _ [Cm] _ .
_ I'd pray for her even [F].
more than _ _ me.
_ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ .
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] I know I'm praying _ [G] for much too much, _ [Am] but could you send back [F] the only _ man she [D] loved?.
I know you don't do it [Am] _ .
usually, _ _ but dear [F] _ .
[C] Lord she's dying _ [G] to dance with my father _ [Am] _ .
_ _ again.
_ _ _ [D] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ .
Every night I fall asleep, and this is all I ever [C] dream.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ .
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ .
