  D                   C#m
 Suitcase packed with all his things 
Bm                    A          
 Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
         G 
 He don't want to go
                   A 
 He thought he'd found his home
               D        C#m
 But with circumstances he can't change
Bm                    A 
 Waves goodbye as they pull away
         G   
 From the life he's known
                     A --
 For the last seven months or so
 
               G --
 She said we found the man who looks like you
      F# --
 Who cried and said he never knew
   Bm                D                     A
 About the boy in pictures that we showed him
      G --         
 A rambler in his younger days
      F# --
 He knew he made a few mistakes
          Bm                 D  
 But he swore he would have been there

 Had he known it

 Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

 A million thoughts raced through his mind
Bm                  A                  G
 What's his name, what's he like and will he be
                    A
 Anything like the man in his dreams
            D                C#m    
 She could see the questions in his eyes
Bm                      A
 Whispered "don't be scared my child
     G                A -- 
 I'll let you know, what we know 

            G --
 About the man we found, he looks like you

 About the boy in pictures that we showed him
     G                              F#                   
 A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes
          Bm               D                  A
 But he swore he would've been there Had he known it
             Em                    F#               G  
 You always said that this was something that you wanted
           Em      F#        G      A D        
 Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma 

  Em --    
 One last turn he held his breath
             Bm --            
 'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
      G                           D        A   
 And all at once the tears came rolling in
     Em -- 
 And as they pulled into the drive
    Bm --               
 A man was waiting there outside
       G                              D                  A
 Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand
 
              G --             
 And he said I'm the man who looks like you
       F# -- 
 Who cried because I never knew
   Bm                  D                A
 About that boy in pictures that they showed me
     G --                        F# -- 
 A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes
        Bm                 D                 A
 But I swear I would have been there had I known it
  Em                   F#       G
 Never again will you ever be alone
     Em      F#       G             D
