First thing I [F#] remember [G#m] was asking Papa [Em] why
[B] For there were [G] many things I [B]
didn't know
And Daddy [F#] always smiled, [G#m]
took me [E] by the hand
[B] Saying someday [F#] you'll [B]
understand
[F#] Well I'm here to pay now even [B] after Mother's gone
[F#] You've got a lot of pride, [B] you've got a lot of y'all
[C#m] But someday [E] it'll never [B]
come
The time of tears [F#] went by [G#m]
and I [Em] collected dust
[B] For there were [G] many things [B] I didn't know
And Daddy [F#] went away, [G#m]
he said try [E] to be a man
[B] And someday [F#] you'll [B]
understand
[F#] Well I'm here [B] to pay now even after Mother's gone
[F#]
You've got a lot of pride, [B] you've got a lot of y [C#m]'all
But someday [E] it'll [B] never come
Then one [F#] day in April [G#m]
I [Em] wasn't even there
[B] For there were [G] many things I [B] didn't know
That son [F#] was born to [G#m] me, Mama [E] held his hand
[B] Saying someday [F#] you'll [B]
understand
Well [F#]
I'm here to pay now [B] even after Mother's gone
[F#] You've got a lot of pride, [B] you've got a lot of y [C#m]'all
But someday [E] it'll [B] never come
[C#m] Oh someday [E] it'll [B] never [G] come
[C]
I think it was [G] September [A]
the year I [Fm] went away
[C] For there were [G#] many things [C] I didn't know
And I still [G] see him standing, [Am]
trying to [F] be a man
I [C] said someday [G] you'll [C]
understand
Well [G] I'm here to pay now [C] even after Mother's gone
[G] You've got a lot of pride, [C] you've got a lot of y'all
