First tab, but I'm pretty sure the chords are about 95% right.
The chords should be roughly in line with the lyrics in terms of when they're played,
but they could be slightly out.

(((keep repeating intro tab until verse 1 finishes)))
Yesterday saw you missing,
Drawn to the light in the distance
Holding her hand while she listened,
She told him how much she would miss him
Said his goodbyes to his children,
And let the weight fade away
(((chords start here)))
Am
I have your hands,
F
But I have my mother's eyes
Your tact and poise
C
And her sense of wrong and right
G
Heard you awake in the middle of the night,
Am
Letting go of the things you keep inside
F
Worked your fingers to the bone
C
To be sent home with a cardboard box
G
Filled with everything you've known,
G~ Am
All things come to be loved and lost
I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame,
F
A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
C G
They always say it's clear to see
How parts of you shine through in me
Am F
I think you know, you won't be here forever
C
And you're counting down the days
G F~
'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away
(((play this verse palm muted until ***))) (i also play this part in barre chords)
F G
The lessons learned at your side
Am
Will stay with me all my life,
C
The man I hope to become, I know is deep down inside
F G Am
I know, you don't even need to say,
C ***
I know you're proud in your own way
F G Am C
I know you're proud in your own way
F G Am C
F
And you watched me grow up
G
As I watched you grow older,
Am C
The chip off your block, held me up on your shoulders
F G Am~~~
I wish I told you yesterday
First ever tab, please help correct
