My Son Chords by Frank Patterson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This next song is very dear to my heart.
Like all parents, my wife Eilí and I have taken great pride and joy in watching our son Éanán grow up.
We think he's wonderful.
Éanán joins Eilí and I now, and we dedicate this beautiful song to parents everywhere.

Son, _ _ _ I taught you [B] everything I _ know _ _ _ _
[G#m] For soon, _ _ one day I'll have [C#] to let you go
_ _ I would gladly [F#] die if it saved you from
[G#m] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ The fear and [F#] all the bad breath
[B] _ That tear your [E] world apart
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] My son
You _ faced the truth and you stood [B] tall
