    Father And Son Chords/Lyrics/Verse

               G                          D/F#            C                     Am7
    It’s not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
                         G                        Em                    Am                         D
    You’re still young, that’s your fault, there’s so much you have to know
                 G               D/F#           C                    Am7
    Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
                   G           Em              Am        D
    Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy
                 G                        D                C                      Am7
    I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy
                 G                          Em                             Am     D
    To be calm when you’ve found something going on
                            G                 D                      C                          Am7
    But take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you’ve got
                         G                     Em                          D             G
    For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

    Father And Son Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2

                   G            Bm                             C                 Am7
    How can I try to explain? ’cause when I do he turns away again
               G                    Em                     Am       D
    It’s always been the same, same old story
                         G                  Bm                C          Am7
    From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
                             G              Em              D        G
    Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go away
           D        C       G
    I know I have to go

    Father And Son Chords/Lyrics/Verse 3

                  G                         D                     C                     Am7
    It’s not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
                         G                        Em                   Am                                 D
    You’re still young, that’s your fault, there’s so much you have to go through
                G                 D                C                   Am7
    Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
                  G            Em              Am        D
    Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy

    Father And Son Chords/Lyrics/Verse 4

                   G                  Bm                C                      Am7
    All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
            G                  Em          Am        D
    It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it
                          G            Bm                C                            Am7
    If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them they know, not me
                             G               Em              D       G
    Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go away
           D        C       G
    I know I have to go
