Daddy?s tune ? Jackson Browne (album: The Pretender)
====================
CF
A dirty wind blows through the sky
CF
And the Autumn leaves cut loose and fly
C
Leave me watching
FE7
And wishing I could follow
AmEm
Though among the regrets that I can't get by
AmC7
There are just one or two
FGCE7
Unkind things I said to you
AmC/GF
Daddy what was I supposed to do?
AmE/G#C/GD/F#
I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you
FG
I guess my anger pulled me through
CF
No sooner had I hit the streets
CF
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
CFCE7
All in search of truth and bound for glory
AmEm
And listening to our own heart beats
AmC7
We stood around the drum
F
Though it's fainter now
GCE7
The older I become
AmC/GF
Living your life day after day
AmE/G#
Soon all your plans and changes
C/GD/F#
Either fail or fade away
FG
Leaving so much still left to say
FC/EF
But Daddy I want to let you know somehow
G#AmC7
The things you said are so much clearer now
FF#dim
And I would turn the pages back
C/GE/G#Am
But time will not allow
D
The way these days just rip along
G
Too fast to last, too vast, too strong
FCBbGAm
Somewhere something went wrong
FC
Or maybe we forgot the song
BbAmG
Make room for my forty-fives
FCE7Am
Along beside your seventy-eights
E/G#C/G
Nothing survives
C/G
But the way we live our lives
