Chicory Tip, Son Of My Father (1972)
Key: :[D] (w: Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte)
VERSE 1:
[D] Mama said to me we
[G] gotta have your life run
[D] right
Off you got to school where
[G] you can learn the
[A7] rules there
[D] right
Be just like your dabling
[G] father when it seems trad-
[D]-ition
Never go astray and
[G] stay an honest
[A7] lovin'
[D] son
[A7 open]
CHORUS 1:
[D] Son of my father
[G] Molded, I was
[A7] folded, I was
[D] preform-packed
[D] Son of my father
[G] Commanded, I was
[A7] branded in a
[D] plastic vac'
[G] Surrounded and con-
[A7]-founded by
[D] statistic facts
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 2:
[D] Tried to let me in but I
[G] jumped out of my skin in
[D] time
I saw through the lies and
[G] read the ali-
[A7]-bi
[D] signs
So I left my home, I'm
[G] really on my own at
[D] last
Left the trodden path and
[G] separated
[A7] from the
[D] past
[A7 open]
CHORUS 2:
[D] Son of my father
[G] Changing, rear-
[A7]-ranging into
[D] someone new
[D] Son of my father
[G] Collecting and
[A7] selecting inde-
[D]-pendent views
[G] Knowing and I'm
[A7] showing that a
[D] change is due
[A7 open]
