Words Of My Father

E
A great man,
                  A
Told me to carry on,
E
And never give in,
               A
When he'd gone,
E
Told me to stand,
                A
By what I felt inside,
E
And shine forward,
A
With my pride.

[Chorus]

E
And this great man,
A            C#       B
Was my Father,
E
And I'm proud,
      A   C#     B
To be his son.
E
And like his father,
  A       C#        B
Had done before him,
E
He's passed his spirit on,
       A
From father to son,
C#
Father to son,
B
Father to son.

[Verse]

E
The great man,
          A
He told me to,
E
Never let the bastards,
         A
Grind you down,
E
And one day,
              A
I tell you my son,
E
There'll be victory,
     A
All around.

[Chorus]

E
And this great man,
A            C#       B
Was my Father,
E
And I'm proud,
      A   C#     B
To be his son.
E
And like his father,
  A       C#        B
Had done before him,
E
He's passed his spirit on,
       A
From father to son,
C#
Father to son,
B
Father to son.

[Verse]

E
Now I'm proud,
          A
Here to stand,

In my families name,
  E                 A
Like my father did before,
E
To represent my blood line,
                A
It's an honour to me,
E                    A
In this land that I adore.


[Chorus]

And this great man,
A            C#       B

And I'm proud,
      A   C#     B
To be his son.
E
And like his father,
  A       C#        B
Had done before him,
E
He's passed his spirit on,
       A
From father to son,
C#
Father to son,
B
Father to son.

And this great man,
A            C#       B

From father to son,

Father to son,

Father to son.
