Song all played with : Em7, Cadd9, and G Chords


So I was playing the song. The strumming pattern is hard to explain. It's basically how 
you sing and play so you could make up your own strumming pattern. This is my first tab 
so I hope you like it☺ Um it's not that good but it goes like this:

Capo first fret

                                       Cadd9
Father, father, tell me where have you been?
                             Em7
Its been hell not having you here
                         Cadd9
I've been missing you so bad and you don't seem to care
     G             Cadd9  Em                C
When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
     G             Cadd9  Em            C
When I go to sleep at night, do you care?
Em7                                      G
Do you even miss us? Your bottle's your mistress
C
I need to know, I need to know
Em7                        Cadd9
Why are you walking away?
       G
Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake cause
    Em7                        Cadd9
I'm trying to deal with the pain

Its been hell not having you
G                                           C        Em
Last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town
        C
With no note telling where
     G             Cadd9  Em                C
When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
