Skip Ewing - Dad
You don't need all these chords if you are just gonna strum!! :o)
I've added them as the song is picked, and a lot of these chords are just
used in there for added flavour.
You can probably get away with just the normal major/minor chord shapes.
G = 320003 Gsus = 320013
C(add9) = x32030 C = x32010
Cmaj7 = x32000 D(add9) = xx0230
D = xx0232 Dsus = xx0233
D/F# = 200232 D7 = xx0212
Bm = x24432 Am = x02210
G/B = x2000x

INTRO
GC(add9)
I remember we'd leave early in the Carolina rain,
GC(addCmaj7
And go catching frogs and fishing off the pier.
D(add9) DDsus
That was back in 67,
DD/F#D7GGsus
Haven't thought about those days in years.
G
And I must have been a sight to see,
With a dirty face and skinned up knees.
C(add9) Cmaj7
Reaching up so I could hold your hand.
D
I wish I'd said I love you then
D/F#D7GGGsus
But, I didn't know just how to tell you Dad.
GGsusGGsus
I remember going through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans,
GC(add9)Cmaj7
Thinking you could never understand.
DDsus
Wish I'd known what I was missing,
DD/F#D7GGGsus
When I didn't want to listen to you Dad.
BmCGGsus
And the pages of my life just keep on turning,
BmCGGGsus
The way you always told me they would do.
BmCGGGsus
There's lessons in this life that I'm still learning,
AmG/BCDDDus
Oh I wish I was a little more like you.
GGsus
I was just now thinking about you,
C(add9)
So I took this time to write.
GC(adCmaj7
Write me back or call me when you can.
DDsus
Things back here are goin' well,
DD/F#D7GGGsus
There's really not much more to tell you Dad.
D
I just wanted you to know,
D/F#D7GGGsus
You're the best friend I've ever had.
