Tuning - Eb (down 1/2 step)

intro - Em D G   Em D C

(Verse 1)
      Em        D      G      Em      D      C
The Daughters' Father watches, quiet  ly we assume 
 Em        D      G            Em      D     C
He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
       Em   D   G
And your name it's an honor
       Em       D         C
It's a shame but it's your honor
   Em      D       G
To take it on your shoulder
    Em     D      C
'til you can find another

[Chorus]
Em           D             G 
That's enough for now
                              C                    D
He should have never left you broken
                        Em
He should have held you
C
Things your Father never told you
Em             D                  G
That's enough for now
                         C                               D
He would have never left you broken
                      Em     
He would have held you
   C
Things your Father never could do

[Verse 2] - same progression as verse 1

The century before me, never could turn 21
Years and years he waited, just watching for a son
someone to go ahead, to take the name instead
Years and years he waited, then a daughter came instead

[Chorus]

Em D G   Em D C

(Bridge)
Em             D          G
Breathing comes in pairs
Em      D           C
        Except for twice
Em    D          G            C
One begins and one's goodbye

Em   D            G                        Em      D       C    
60    years of sorrow, you got 5 or  6 of  bliss
Em         D          G
Left my mothers' mother
              Em              D              C 
Without so much as a .....
Em     D          G      C           D         Em       C
kiss                              As a kiss
Em     D          G      C           D         Em       C

[Chorus]

60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my Mothers' mother
Without so much as a kiss
