x[Verse 1]
A E F#m D
First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
A E F#m D
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
A E A
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."
[Chorus]
E A
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
E A
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
[Verse 2]
A E F#m D
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
A E F#m D
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,
A E A
And, Someday you'll understand."
[Chorus]
E A
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
E A
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
[verse 3]
A E F#m D
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
A E F#m D
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
A E A
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."
[Chorus]
E A
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
E A
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
Bm D A
'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
[verse 4]
Bb F Gm D#

For there were many things I didn't know.
Bb F Gm D#
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
Bb F Bb
I said, "Someday you'll understand."

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son

'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
Cm D# Bb
'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
