[Intro 1]
[C][Em][D][G][C][Em][D]
[Em]
I was [D]born on the day

[Verse 1]
[G]
my [Bm]father [C]died
[Am]He loved m[Em]e so[D][Em]
Heaven's [D]bells on [G]the day
he [Bm]closed his [C]eyes
[Am]Down in [Em]a hole[D][Em]
[D]But I can hear him singing, oh[C][Am]

[Verse 2]
I want [G]to show you that [D]life comes [Em]in circles
[C]I want t[G]o show you l[D]ife
[Am]Drink all your [G]whiskey [D]and spend
all your [Em]money
[C]And let no one [G]steal your [D]shine
The day my father [C]died[Em]
[D][G][C][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
I was [D]scared on [G]the day my [Bm]mother [C]cried
[Am]She held m[Em]e close[D][Em]
She lost [D]a man who [G]could ease
her [Bm]troubled [C]mind
[Am]She lost it [Em]all[D][Em]
[D]And I remember singing

[Verse 4]
[Am]I want to [G]show you
that [D]life comes [Em]in circles
[C]I want t[G]o show you l[D]ife
[Am]Your heart is [G]heavy, your [D]load I will [Em]carry
So [C]put your sweet [G]hand in [D]mine
The day my father [C]died
[Em][D][G][C][Em][D]
The day my father [C]died[Em]
[D][G][C][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
"Put em' [D]down,
put [G]em' down" my [Bm]lover [C]sighed
[Am]She loves [Em]me so
Letting [D]go doesn't [G]mean he'll
[Bm]ever leave [C]your side

[Verse 6]
[Am]I want to [G]show you
that [D]life comes in [Em]circles
[C]I wanna sho[G]w you lif[D]e
[Am]Care for [G]your sister,
[D]your son and your [Em]daughter
Your [C]mother will [G]heal in [D]time
[Am]No self- des[G]truction
will [D]fill up your [Em]heart
And the [C]void that he [G]left behind
[D]The day my fat[G]her die[C]d
[Em][D][G][C][G][D]
The day my father [C]died[Em]
[D][G][C][Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]
The day my father [C]died
I was [Em]born on [G]the day my
father [C]died[Em][D]
The day my father [C]died [Em](oh)[D][G]

[Outro 1]
I was born
[C][G][D]
