Capo 5th fret

C5       F5       C5  
I am my fathers son
F5             C5            G5 
never knowing when to shut up
A5      G5          F5    C5
I ain't fooling no one 
F5       G5        C5
I am my father's son 

C5        F5          C5
We don't see eye to eye 
            F5        C5             G5      
I'll be the first to admit I never tried 
A5          G5                    F5       C5             
'n' sure it hurts, but it should hurt sometime 
F5            G5      C5   
we don't see eye to eye 

C5       F5         C5
I was a young man when
   F5              C5               G5
I first found the pleasure in the feel of his hand
A5     G5             F5              C5    F5
I went down the same road as my old man 
      G5       C5
I was younger then 

A5              F5          C5               G5
now its three a.m. and I'm standing in the kitchen 
A5         F5            C5
holding my last cigarette 
A5       F5           C5           G5            F5
strike a match 'n' I see my reflection in the mirror in the hall 
      G5
and I say to myself 

C5           F5      C5
I've got my mama's eyes 
    F5         C5             G5
her long thin frame 'n' her smile 
A5          G5              F5     C5    
and I still see wrong from right 
F5               G5      C5
cuz I've got my mama's eyes 
    F5           G5      C5
yea I've got my mama's eyes
