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