[G] [C]
[Am] Your father was [F] a rounder, he played that rock and [G] roll.
[E] A leaper and [Am] a bounder, [F] down to his [C] gypsy soul.
[Am] The music was [F] his angel, [Em] and sorrow [F] was his [C] scar.
And [E] those of us who [Am] follow, [F] might hope to [C] reach as far.
[Dm] But they're walking [E] slow in [F] Houston,
[C] speechless [E] in [Am] D.C.
[Dm] There's no [Em] way I [F] could tell you what he meant [C] to me.
[G]
[Am] Your mother's a [F] survivor, [C] she'll do [F] what must [C] be done.
[E] Her children will [Am] revive her, [Gm] and help her see [C] the sun.
[Am] She almost knew [F] that you were sun, [Em] but the singing [F] stopped too [C] soon.
And [E] now she shares the [Am] silence, with a man [Dm] up in [C] the moon.
[Dm] They speak [C] of missing [F] persons, [C] and like [E] there's only [Am] one.
[Dm] We [Em] all carry [F] with us what the [C] man's begun.
[G] And you've [F] been singing [C] sun, [F] until I've been [C] far.
[F] In the sunny [C] sun, [F] and the frozen [C] light.
[F] It's a day [C] of light, it's a day [E] of hurt.
Does it take [Am] a death to learn what a life [F] is worth?
Your [Am] brothers are [F] all older, [Em] and they take [F] it in [C] their stride.
[E] The world's a little [Am] colder, with [G] manhood [C] on their side.
[Am] Now you're the [F] little girl child, [Em] and you're so [F]
much [C] like him.
[E] And he's right there [Am] inside you, [F] each time you [C] want to sing.
[Dm] Sing [Em] of missing [F] persons, [C] and like [E] there's only [Am] one.
[Dm] But he's [Am] where you can [F] find him when it's sad [C] and
[G] And we [F] will sing the [C] sun, until I'm
[F] In the sunny [C] sun, and the frozen light.
This [F] will always [C] be, your [E] day of birth.
May you always [Am] see, what your life is [C] worth.

From the sunny sun, and the frozen light.
