[Bb] Oh, Papa, [Cm] sit down and hear [F] my song.
[Bb] Oh, and if you [C] feel like it, then [Eb] please [F] sing along.
[Bb] No, nothing [C] that I want to say [Eb] I haven't said [F] before.
But [Bb] to use your [C] words, [Eb] you can never be [F] too sure.
[Eb] See, even though I [F] don't always show, I'm glad that [Bb] you're around.
[Eb] He _ _ [F] said, I'm glad that [Bb] you're around.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ .
[Bb] Oh, son, it's [Cm] so strange [Eb] to hear [F] and see that [Bb] someone so [Cm] [Eb] different is a soul [F] like me.
[Bb] You may have [Eb] gone right where I [F] would have gone left.
But, [Bb] son, that's [Eb] all right.
I will always have [F] your back.
See, [Eb] even though I don't [F] always show, I'm glad that [Bb] you're my [Cm] son.

[Em] Old _ days and [Cm] all of the new, [Ab] wanting to be like [G] you.
_ _ .
_ [C] Every time I look [D] at you, I see [F] myself.
_ I'm so [G] proud of you [C] for you helped make me what [D] I am.
Oh, I'm a better [F] man.
I'm just so proud of you.
[Bb] Oh, Dad, your [Eb] views in life, tell me how they [F] came to be.
Well, [Bb] see, I didn't [Eb] know my father like the way that [F] you've known me.
[Gm] Oh, and life is just too [Eb] short for us to never [F] be in touch.
[Bb] Oh, and that's why I [Eb] want to tell you that I love you [F] very much.
[Eb] Oh, even though I [Ab] don't always show, [F] you know.
_ _ _ [C] And I want you to know that every time I look [D] at you, I see [F] myself.
And I'm [G] so proud of [C] you for you helped make me what [D] I am.
Tell me now, better [F] man.
I'm just so proud of you.
[Em] I'm here.
And [A] I'll be if I can, [Ab] father and a [C] friend.

And I know that you'll do [A] fine, cause you're a son of [D] mine.
Oh, wait, Papa, tell me what you [E] like so that I don't get my fingers [G] burned.

But that's okay, man.

[G] You live and you learn.
