Between a Father and a Son Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Heywood
was a daddy in 1942
He couldn't read or make his letters
He said, Boy,
I hope you don't do like I [F]do[Bb]
And that was my [F]dad he was talking [C]to

[Verse 2]
So, my [C]father grew up stronger
Bigger dreams and bigger plans
The first to go to college
But he can still work hard
with [F]his two [Bb]hands
[F]Thanks to his old[C] man

[Verse 3]
Yeah, he [C]learned to throw a baseball
How to [F]set a fishing line
He [C]learned about forgiveness
'Cause you [G]just can't
waste the time

[Verse 4]
[Am]And the circle goes unbroken
But there's [Bb]so much left undone
[F]That's just [C]how it [Eb]is
Between a father and a son
[C]

[Verse 5]
Well, I became a daddy
At the age of twenty-three
I I didn't know what I was doing
And my daddy went through
it rais[F]ing [Bb]me
[F]I felt lost a[C]t sea

[Verse 6]
[C]So, I just kept it simple
Took it one day at a time
And followed in the foot-steps
Of Of the men that came
before me [F]in my life
[Bb]And [F]we're doing just[C] fine

[Verse 7]
'Cause you [C]learn to throw a baseball
How to [F]set a fishing line
And you [C]learn about forgiveness
'Cause you [G]just can't waste the time

[Verse 8]
And [Am]the circle goes unbroken
But there's [Bb]so much left undone
But [F]that's just [C]how it [Eb]is
Between a [F]father and [C]a son
[F][C]

[Verse 9]
[G]
[Am]And the circle goes unbroken
But there's [Bb]so much left undone
And [F]that's just [C]how it is
[Eb]Oh, that[F]'s just how [C]it is[Eb][F]
Between a father and [C]a son[F]
A father an[C]d a[F] son[C][F]
Between a father an[C]d a son
