My name is William and I'm the son of Ambrose
                     G         C
I was born near that cast iron bridge
                     F                 C
My mother Alice, she taught me to be a kind man
                 G                 C
So I took it and shared it with my friends

I went to war at the age of twenty-one
                    G               C
I came back with my memories and my gun
                        F            C
Took care of the family, my brother, too
                   G            C
Bareknuckle boxing every day at noon

When I came back from war
          F                 C
There was something missing there
                   G            C
I had a finger, so naked and so bare
                        F            C
Where would I ever find, my one true love
                    G                 C
If I'm just patient she'll come from above

One day at the neighbours, I caught a flare
                         G         C
I fell in love with that Norwegian glare
                  F            C
We had a hippy, a cowboy and a scholar
                   G        C    C7
Little tomboy and a toddler too

In 1947 I did my best
G                           C
Started what you see before and I stood the test
     F                         C
Well life ain't always easy in fact it's pretty tough
G                                        C
 I hope you learned a thing or two about how I raised you up
               G                      C
Cause it's the best damn thing I ever done

That was a cold year in nineteen-seventyseven
                     G                       C
I left you all when I died and gone to heaven
                               F               C
Never got to say goodbye never got to give you hugs
                 G               C    C7
Just remember, I love you all so much
