   D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)                Bm (x24432@1)          GI (320003@1)don't know why you chose us, were you watching from above
           D (xx0232@1)               A (x02220@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)          GD AG   AIs (x02220@1)there someone there that knows us  said we'd give you all our love


   D (xx0232@1)               A (x02220@1)                  Bm (x24432@1)               GI (320003@1)wonder who you'll look like  will your hair fall down and curl

         D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)                   Bm (x24432@1)           GWill (320003@1)you be a sad reminder of what's been lost along the way
       D (xx0232@1)             A (x02220@1)             Bm (x24432@1)            GD AG  AMaybe (x02220@1)you can help me find her in the things you do and say


          D (xx0232@1)                  A (x02220@1)             Bm (x24432@1)               GWill (320003@1)you laugh just like your mother will you sigh like your old man
                  D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)              Bm (x24432@1)             GWill (320003@1)some things skip a generation like I've heard they often can
           A (x02220@1)       Bm (x24432@1)      D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)   GAre (320003@1)you a poet or a dancer, a devil or a clown

        A (x02220@1)               Bm (x24432@1)            D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)     GBy (320003@1)our fathers and their fathers in some old and distant town
