Son Of Your Father

(início)

               Eb              Eb7
I'll catch the tramline in the morning
          Ab
With your leave Van Bushell said
       Bb                Bb7
He had further heard the cock crow
      Ab               Eb
As he stumbled out the shed
     Eb7
Then blind Joseph came towards him
       Ab
With a shotgun in his arms
               Bb            Bb7
He said you'll pay me twenty dollars
Ab                  Eb
Before you leave my farm
    Bb7
Van Bushell saw the hook
        Ab              Eb
Which replaced Joseph's hand
            Eb7              Ab
He said now calm you down my brother
      Bb7                 Eb
Let's discuss this man to man
        Eb7              Ab
It's no good you getting angry
        Eb     Bb/D    Cm
We must try to act our age
Cm7/Bb     Ab            Eb
You're pursuing your convictions
          Ab          Eb
Like some hermit in a cage
           Eb          F7
You're the son of your father
Ab               Eb
Try a little bit harder
             F7              Bb
Do for me as he would do for you
     Eb              F7
With blood and water bricks and mortar
   Ab              Eb
He built for you a home
           Eb  Bb/D    Cm  Cm7/Bb
You're the son of your father
   Ab               Eb
So treat me as your own
Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle
And he emptied out the shells
Van Bushell he came towards him
He shook his arm and wished him well
He said now hey blind man that is fine
But I sure can't waste my time
So move aside and let me go my way
I've got a train to ride
Well Joseph turned around
His grin was now a frown
He said let me just refresh your mind
Your manners boy seem hard to find
You're the son of your father...
Well there's two men lying dead as nails
On an East Virginia farm
For charity's an argument
That only leads to harm
So be careful when they're kind to you
Don't you end up in the dirt
Just remember what I'm saying to you
And you likely won't get hurt
