CAPO 11
This is my first tab so please comment.
INTRO: GCGC
G C
I woke up crying late at night
G C
when I was very young.
G C
I had dreamed my father
G D
had passed away and gone.
G C
My world revolved around him
G C
I couldnt lay there anymore.
G C
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
G D G
and tapped upon his door.
CHORUS
Bm G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Bm G
how will I go on with you gone that way?
Bm
Don't wanna cry anymore
G Am D
so may I stay with you?"
G D G
And he said "That's my job,
D G
that's what I do.
C D G C
Everything I do is because of you,
G D Bm
To keep you safe with me.
G C G
That's my job you see."
G C
Later we barely got along
G C
this teenage boy and he.
G
Most of the fights it seems
C
were over different dreams,
G D
we each held for me.
G C
He wanted knowledge and learning.
G C
I wanted to fly out west.
G
Said, "I could make it out there
C
if I just had the fare.
G D G
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
CHORUS
Bm G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
Bm G
there's no guarantee in the plans
Bm
I've made and if I should fail,
G Am D
who will pay my way back home?"
G D G
And he said "That's my job
D G
that's what I do.
C D G C
Everything I do is because of you
G D Bm
to keep you safe with me.
G C G
That's my job you see."
BRIDGE
Em D
Every person carves his spot
C D G
and fills the hole with light.
C D G
And I pray someday I might
C D
light as bright as he.
G C
Woke up early one bright fall day
G C
to spread the tragic news.
G C
After all my travel, I settled down
G D
within a mile or two.
G C
I make my living with words and rhyme
G D
and all this tragedy
G C
Should go into my head and out instead
D G
as bits of poetry.
CHORUS
Bm G
But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
Bm G
how will I go on with you gone this way?
G D
How can I come up with a song to say
C D
I love you?"
G D G D G
That's my job, That's what I do
C D G C
Everything I do is because of you
G D Bm
to keep you safe with me.
G C G
That's my job you see.
C D G C
Everything I do is because of you
G D Bm
to keep you safe with me. GCG
