[Am] [F]
[C] [G]
[Am] The things [F] my father said [C] would teach me who [G] I am.
[Am] Hard work [F] and love are [C] friends, a lover that [G] understands.
[F] I hope [Am] my father knows [C] the seeds we've sown [G] still grow.
[F] At [Am] night I go to sleep [Dm] and pray he [F] is watching over [C] me.
Somewhere there's [G] a sun that's shining [Dm] so bright [F] that I can see [C] you smile.
All that [G] I need is one [Dm] last chance just [F] to hear you say [Am] goodbye.
[F] [C]
[G] [D] [Am] Sometimes [F] I remember when [C] you taught me to tie my [G] shoes.
[Am] One thing [F] I will never forget [C] is the day that I [G] lost you.
[F]
I hope [Am] you always know [Dm]
that [F] we'll always [C] hold.
Somewhere there's [G] a sun that's shining [Dm] so bright [F] that I can see [C] you smile.
All that [G] I need is one [Dm] last chance just [F] to hear you say [Bb] goodbye.
And [Dm] if you ever dream [Bb] you better hope for [Dm] dear life.
[C] [F] [Bb]
And where [Dm] I go we're blessed [F] just let it pass [G] you by.
[C]
[G] Oh, [F] the things [C] my father [G] said.
[Dm]
[F] [C] Somewhere [G] there's a sun that's shining [Dm] so bright [F] that I can see [C] you smile.
And all that [G] I need is one [Dm] last chance just [F] to hear you say [C] goodbye.
Somewhere [G] there's a sun [Dm] that's shining so bright [F] that I can see [C] you smile.
And all that [G] I need is one [Dm] last chance [C] just [F] to hear you say goodbye.
