xDaddy’s tune – Jackson Browne (album: The Pretender)
====================
C F
A dirty wind blows through the sky
C F
And the Autumn leaves cut loose and fly
C
Leave me watching
F C E7
And wishing I could follow
Am Em
Though among the regrets that I can't get by
Am C7
There are just one or two
F G C E7
Unkind things I said to you
Am C/G F
Daddy what was I supposed to do?
Am E/G# C/G D/F#
I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you
F G
I guess my anger pulled me through
C F
No sooner had I hit the streets
C F
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
C F C E7
All in search of truth and bound for glory
Am Em
And listening to our own heart beats
Am C7
We stood around the drum
F
Though it's fainter now
G C E7
The older I become
Am C/G F
Living your life day after day
Am E/G#
Soon all your plans and changes
C/G D/F#
Either fail or fade away
F G
Leaving so much still left to say
F C/E F
But Daddy I want to let you know somehow
G# Am C7
The things you said are so much clearer now
F F#dim
And I would turn the pages back
C/G E/G# Am
But time will not allow
D
The way these days just rip along
G
Too fast to last, too vast, too strong
F C Bb G Am
Somewhere something went wrong
F C
Or maybe we forgot the song
Bb Am G
Make room for my forty-fives
F C E7 Am
Along beside your seventy-eights
E/G# C/G
Nothing survives
C/G
But the way we live our lives
|F |C |Bb G |Am |
|F |C |Bb Am |G F |
|C E7 |Am E/G# |C/G |C/G |
|C/G |C/G |C/G |C/G |
