Chicory Tip, Son Of My Father (1972)
Key: :[A#] (w: Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte)
VERSE 1:
[A#] Mama said to me we
[D#] gotta have your life run
[A#] right
Off you got to school where
[D#] you can learn the
[F7] rules there
[A#] right
Be just like your dabling
[D#] father when it seems trad-
[A#]-ition
Never go astray and
[D#] stay an honest
[F7] lovin'
[A#] son
[F7 open]
CHORUS 1:
[A#] Son of my father
[D#] Molded, I was
[F7] folded, I was
[A#] preform-packed
[A#] Son of my father
[D#] Commanded, I was
[F7] branded in a
[A#] plastic vac'
[D#] Surrounded and con-
[F7]-founded by
[A#] statistic facts
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 2:
[A#] Tried to let me in but I
[D#] jumped out of my skin in
[A#] time
I saw through the lies and
[D#] read the ali-
[F7]-bi
[A#] signs
So I left my home, I'm
[D#] really on my own at
[A#] last
Left the trodden path and
[D#] separated
[F7] from the
[A#] past
[F7 open]
CHORUS 2:
[A#] Son of my father
[D#] Changing, rear-
[F7]-ranging into
[A#] someone new
[A#] Son of my father
[D#] Collecting and
[F7] selecting inde-
[A#]-pendent views
[D#] Knowing and I'm
[F7] showing that a
[A#] change is due
[F7 open]
REPEAT CHORUS 1:
