[C][Dsus4][D][C][Csus2][G][Dsus4][D][C]
[Csus2]

[Verse 1]
I [G]don't know much about [D]you,
I [Em]don't know [C]who you are
[Csus2]We've been doi[G]ng
fine without [D]you,
but we could [Em]only go [C]so far.
[Csus2]I don't kno[G]w why
you chose [D]us.
Were you [Am]watching from above?
[C]Is [G]there someone there who [D]knows us,
said [C]we'd give you all our
[G]love?[D][Em][C]
Will you [G]laugh just like [D]your mother?
Will you [Em]sigh like [C]your old man?
Will something [G]skip a generation
[D]like I've [Em]heard they of[G]ten [C]came?
Are you a [D]poet or a [Em]dan cer,
a [G]devil or [D]a c[C]lown?
Or a [G]strange new [D]combination
[Em]of t[D]he t[C]hings we[D]'ve
handed [G]down?[D][Em]
[C]I wonder[G] who you'll loo[D]k like,
[Em]will your hair fall down in [C]curls?
Will [G]you be your [D]mama's boy
or [Em]daddy's little [C]girl?
Will you [G]be a sad reminder
[D]of what's [Em]been lost along the way?
[C]Maybe [G]you could help me find [D]her
in the [Em]things you do an[C]d s[G]ay[D][Em]
[C]And these [D]things that we have [Em]given you,
they're not [G]so eas[D]ily [C]found
But [G]you can [D]thank [Em]us later
for [D]the [C]things we've [D]handed [G]down[D]
[Em]The thin[C]gs we've hande[G]d down,
down, [D]down, [Em]down[C]
You may not al[G]ways be so grateful
[D]for the way [C]that you were made
[Am]Some featu[G]re of your[D] father's
that you'd [Em]gladly sell or trade
[C]And one[G] day you may look at [D]us
and [Em]say that you w[C]ere cursed
But [G]all the time that [D]lie
has been ex[Em]tremely well [C]rehearsed
That our [D]fathers and their [Em]fathers
in [G]some old and [D]distant [C]town
From places no [G]one [D]here remem[Em]bers
Cause [D]the [C]things we've [D]handed [G]down[D]
[Em]The things we'[C]ve handed down
[G]Down, dow[D]n, down
[Em]The thin[C]gs we've
handed [G]down[D][Em][C]

[Outro 1]
Oh, ooh
[C][G]
