[Verse]
D                F#
  Father of mine    tell me where have you been
G                              E
  You know I just closed by eyes my whole world disappeared
D                F#
  Father of mine    take me back to the day
G                              E
  Yeah when I was still your golden boy back before you went away
D               F#
  I remember blue skies walking the block
G                        E
  I loved it when you held me high I loved to hear you talk
D                           F#
  You would take me to the movie you would take me to the beach
G                   F#  F  E                               D
  You would take me to a place inside that's so hard to reach

D                F#
  Father of mine    tell me where did you go
G                          E
  Yeah you had the world inside your hand but you did not seem to know
D                F#
  Father of mine    tell me what do you see
G                             E
  When you look back at your wasted life and you don't see me
D                  F#
  I was ten years old doin' all that I could
G                               E
  It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
D                               F#
  Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
G               F#  F  E
  I never understood you then and I guess I never will
