Chicory Tip, Son Of My Father (1972)
Key: :[C#] (w: Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte)
VERSE 1:
[C#] Mama said to me we
[F#] gotta have your life run
[C#] right
Off you got to school where
[F#] you can learn the
[G#7] rules there
[C#] right
Be just like your dabling
[F#] father when it seems trad-
[C#]-ition
Never go astray and
[F#] stay an honest
[G#7] lovin'
[C#] son
[G#7 open]
CHORUS 1:
[C#] Son of my father
[F#] Molded, I was
[G#7] folded, I was
[C#] preform-packed
[C#] Son of my father
[F#] Commanded, I was
[G#7] branded in a
[C#] plastic vac'
[F#] Surrounded and con-
[G#7]-founded by
[C#] statistic facts
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 2:
[C#] Tried to let me in but I
[F#] jumped out of my skin in
[C#] time
I saw through the lies and
[F#] read the ali-
[G#7]-bi
[C#] signs
So I left my home, I'm
[F#] really on my own at
[C#] last
Left the trodden path and
[F#] separated
[G#7] from the
[C#] past
[G#7 open]
CHORUS 2:
[C#] Son of my father
[F#] Changing, rear-
[G#7]-ranging into
[C#] someone new
[C#] Son of my father
[F#] Collecting and
[G#7] selecting inde-
[C#]-pendent views
[F#] Knowing and I'm
[G#7] showing that a
[C#] change is due
[G#7 open]
REPEAT CHORUS 1:
