Between Fathers and Sons Waylon Jennings
CAPO II
INTRO: D G D Dsus4 D
My fa[D]ther had so much to tell me, things he said I had to [Dsus4]know
Don't m[G]ake my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my [D]own
Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went t[G]hru
There's only so much you can [D]do
You're [A7]proud when they walk, and scared when they run
That's how it always has been between fathers and [D]sons
CHORUS:
It's a bridge you can't c[G]ross, it's a cross you can't [D]bear
It's the words you can't s[A7]ay, things you can't change, no matter how much you [D]care
So you do all you [G]can, but then you gotta let g[D]o
You're just part of the [A7]flow of a river that runs between fathers and [D]sons
INTRO
Your mot[D]her will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can
But the h[G]igher you climb the more you will see that's something that I unde[D]rstand
One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to s[G]ay
But he'll have to find his own [D]way
On the r[A7]oad he must take, the course he must run
That's how it always has been between fathers and s[D]ons
CHORUS:
It's a bridge you can't [G]cross, it's a cross you can't b[D]ear
It's the words you can't s[A7]ay, the things you can't change, no matter how much you c[D]are
So you do all you c[G]an, but then you gotta let [D]go
You're just part of the f[A7]low of a river that runs between fathers and s[G]ons [A7] [D]
