F C F Bb F
Come me little son and I will tell you what we'll do,
F Bb F Fsus2 Bb
Undress yourself, and get into bed and a tale I'll tell to you
F Bb F Bb Bbsus2
It's all about your daddy, he's a man you seldom see,
F C C/E F Bb F
For he's had to roam away from home, far away from you and me.
[Chorus]
F Bb F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
F Fsus2 Bb Bbsus2
Though he's working far away,
F C C/E F Bb F
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
Bb F
On England's motorway.
F C F Bb F
Now When you fall and hurt yourself and get to feeling bad,
F Bb F Fsus2 Bb
It isn't any good to go a-running for your dad,
F Bb F Bb Bbsus2
For the only time since you were born, he's had to spend with you,
F C C/E F Bb F
He was out of a job and he hadn't a bob, he was signing on the brew
F Bb F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
F Fsus2 Bb Bbsus2
Though he's working far away,
F C C/E F Bb F
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
Bb F
On England's motorway.
F C F Bb F
Sure we'd like your daddy here, yes sure it would be fine,
F Bb F Fsus2 Bb
To have him working nearer home, and to see him all the time,
F Bb F Bb Bbsus2
But beggars can't be choosers and we have to bear our load,
F C C/E F Bb F
For we need the money your daddy earns a working on the road.
[Chorus]
F Bb F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
F Fsus2 Bb Bbsus2
And he'll soon be home to stay,
F C C/E F
for a week or two, with me and you
F Bb F
When he's built the motorway.
