[N] [B] It's a pleasure to be here to celebrate AAA, [N]
my saving format.

[C] This song goes out to Al [N] Schmidt, someone [Bb] with whom I had the pleasure of working with,
[Bm] who had the most [B] rich and varied career of [G] anyone I've ever known or heard of.
[B] From Ann-Margaret to the [G] Basie Band, from The Grateful Dead [Em] to Sam Cooke, he was everywhere
and [G] [C] he kept covering new ground to [N]
the day he went.
[B] This is a song that he [N] recorded on [A] my Late for the Sky [Ab] album.
This is called Father On.

[G] [C]
In my early [G] years I hid my tears and [Am]
passed [F] my days [C] alone.
[Am] I drifted an [D] ocean of [G] loneliness,
[F] my [G] dreams like nets were [C] thrown.
[F] To [C] catch the [G] love that I'd heard of [C] in books [F] and films and [C] songs.
Now there's a [Am]
world [D] of illusion and [G] fantasy in [F] the place where [G] the real [B] world [C] belongs.
Till [F] I look for the [C] beauty in the songs to fill my [Em]
head and lead [G] me on.
All [F] my dreams have [G] come up torn [C] and empty,
[Em] as [G] many times as love has come and [F] gone.
To those [C] shadowed ones [G] my memory runs, [Am] to the laughter we [F] shared at the [C] meal.
[Am] I fill [D] the kitchens [G] and living rooms, [F] my schemes [G] and my broken [C] wheels.
It was love that [G] I found on you, the [Am] gates [F] to my citadel [C] laid.
They [Am] were cunning fruit [D] stones, [G] some dreams of their own, [F] but they listened to [G] mine anyway.
[C]
I'm not sure what [G] I'm trying to [C] say, it [Em] could be I've lost [G] my way.
[F] Though I [G] keep a watch over the [C] distance, heaven's no [G] closer than it was [F] yesterday.
And the [C] angels [G] are older, [F] [E]
they [Am] know not to wait [G] up for the [F] sun.
They look over [C] my shoulder [Em] at [Am] the maps and the [C] drawings, [D] but the journey [G] I've begun.

And [F] the distance [G] leads me farther [C] on, for the reasons [G] I once had are gone.
I [F] keep thinking I'll [G] find what I'm [C] looking for, in [G] the sand beneath the [F] dawn.
[C] And the angels [G] are older, [F] [E]
they [Am] can see that the sun's setting [F] fast.
They look over [C] my shoulder [Am] at the vision of [D] paradise, contained in the light of a [G] past.
And [C] they lay down [G] behind me, [E]
to sleep [Am] beside the road, till the morning has [F] come.
But they know they [C] will find me, [G] [Am] with my maps and my faith in [F] the distance, moving [G] [C] farther on.
