Daddy’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
    Ab                  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       |
|C/G       |C/G       | 

||:C       |F         |C         |F        :|| rep & fade
