Father of Mine

[Verse]
 C                E
   Father of mine    tell me where have you been
 F                              D
   You know I just closed by eyes my whole world disappeared
 C                E
   Father of mine    take me back to the day
 F                              D
   Yeah when I was still your golden boy back before you went away
 C               E
   I remember blue skies walking the block
 F                        D
   I loved it when you held me high I loved to hear you talk
 C                           E
   You would take me to the movie you would take me to the beach
 F                   E  Eb  D                               C
   You would take me to a place inside that's so hard to reach

 [Verse]
 C                E
   Father of mine    tell me where did you go
 F                          D
   Yeah you had the world inside your hand but you did not seem to know
 C                E
   Father of mine    tell me what do you see
 F                             D
   When you look back at your wasted life and you don't see me
 C                  E
   I was ten years old doin' all that I could
 F                               D
   It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
 C                               E
   Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
 F               E  Eb  D
   I never understood you then and I guess I never will
