Father
Kurt Nilsen
Tonene d og g (----33 på gitaren) ligger stort sett gjennom hele sangen. Det KAN spilles sånn, men det høres litt rart ut på en ensom gitar.

[G]
He loved the [Em7]good drink and conversation
Old [Cadd9]story about his rich lived life
Smoked [Em7]40 a day, trucking was [G/d]life
With [G]me right by his [Cadd9]side
Em7 Dadd11/f#
He loved the hard work with a passion
And the [G/d]long drive throughout the [Cadd9]night
[Em7]Seeing the world, [Dadd11]flying like a bird
And we've been [G]waiting most of our [Cadd9]lives
To get him [Am7]home,
to get him [D7]home
[G]I got the call on [C]my birthday:
[Am]“Sorry, son, I [D7]have to say
Your [Em7]daddy's gone, I won't [C]make it back.
[Am7]Daddy's gone, I can't [D7]make it back.
I hope you [G]spend your day as [C]best you can.
All my [Am7]love to you from [D7]your old man.
[G/h]Daddy's gone, I won't [Cadd9]make it back
to [Am7]you,
To [D7]you.”
[G]
[Em7] He loved my mama 'til his final breath
But [G]loved the wine and road even more, I bet
[Em7] Years went by before I saw him again
As [G]I grew up, I started [C]understand
That [Em]heroes fade and [D/f#]new one comes
[G] But I know where [C]I belong
[Am7] My love for him will always stay strong,
I [D7]know
[G]I got the call on my [C]daughter's day
[Am]"Sorry, son, I'm too [D7]far away
Your [Em7]daddy's gone, I won't [C]make it back
[Am7]Daddy's gone, I won't [D7]make it back
I hope you [G]spend your day as [C]best you can
All my [Am7]love to her from [D7]your old man
Your [G/h]daddy's gone and he ain't [Cadd9]coming back
to [Am7]you,
To [D7]you."
[Am7] [G] [D] [Em/h] [Cmaj7]
[Am7] [G] [D] [Em/h] [C]
I like to [Am7]think that the man I knew
Has finally [D7]found his peace
I like to [Am7]think that the man I knew
Is looking [D7]down on me, sometimes
[G] I got the call just the [C]other day
With a [Am7]strange sad voice, she [D7]had to say:
"Your [Em7]daddy's gone and he ain't [C]coming back,
Your [Am7]daddy's gone and he ain't [D7]coming back."
I hope he [G]left this world with a [C]big old smile
[Am7]Felt our love as he [D7]closed his eyes.
[G/h]Daddy's gone, and he ain't [C]coming back
to [Am7]me
To [D7]me, oh-oh[G]
