My Old Man Song For Dad

Tono: Eb

Introducción:

C                                                Am  
My old man, born to a family of the sea
C                                                                 Am  
Things were scarcer then, tough life compared to me
F                     Dm  
A skilled maker, problem solver
F                    Dm  
Willing helper, sarcastic joker
F                                                          G      G7  
Destined for a life at sea, from the age of three

C                                                                Am  
He&rsquo d row across the bay, to the dances with his friends
C                                                        Am  
Met mum after school, thought that he was cool
F                Dm  
Keen helper, advice giver
F                  Dm  
good provider, decision maker
F                                                     G     G7  
Life of the mariner, he took to it with ease

C                                                    Am  
In his later years, so loved his grand children
C                                                            Am  
Then his tied old lungs, start-ed to let him down
F                     Dm  
Took his energy, breat-hing be-came hard
F                      Dm  
His sharp memory, shared stories till the end
F                                                      G     G7  
He tried his best not, to let it get him down

C                                                  Am  
Sometimes in August, I break down and cry
C                                                    Am  
Miss your grumpy face, and your sound advice
F                                          Dm  
Now your ashes, float out in the bay
F                         Dm  
Where as kids, we would go to play
F                                                     G    G7  
And now we try to make, most of every day

C                                                Am  
My old man, born to a family of the sea
C                                          Am  
Got all we need, you thought of everything
F                  Dm  
Skilled maker, problem solver
F                Dm  
Keen helper, sarcastic joker
F                                                        G         C  
Now you&rsquo re free from pain, you can sail a-way&hellip  a&mdash gain&hellip .
