Between a Father and a Son Jace Everett
Half-Step Down
Intro: D G x2
Verse 1:
[D]Heywood was a daddy in 1942,
[D]He couldn't read or make his letters,
He said "Boy, I hope you don't do like I[G] do,"[Cadd9]
That was my [G]dad he was talking to[D]
So my [D]father grew up stronger, bigger dreams and bigger plans
The [D]first to go to college
But he can still work hard with his two [G]hands[Cadd9] [G]
Thanks to his old [D]man
Chorus:
Yeah he [D]learned to throw a baseball
How to [G]sail a fishing line
He [D]learned about forgiveness
'Cause you [A]just can't waste the time
And the [Bm]circle goes unbroken
But there's [Cadd9]so much left undone
[G]That's just [D/F#]how it [F]is
Between a father and a[D] son
Verse 2:
[D]I became a daddy at the age of 23
I didn't [D]know what I was doing
Hell, my [D]daddy wasn't through yet rais[G]ing me[Cadd9] [G]
I felt lost at [D]sea
So [D]I just kept it simple, took it [D]one day at a time
And [D]followed in the footsteps
Of the men that came before me in my[G] life[Cadd9] [G]
And we're doing just [D]fine
Chorus:
'Cause you [D]learn to throw a baseball
How to [G]sail a fishing line
And you [D]learn about forgiveness
'Cause you [A]just can't waste the time
And the [Bm]circle goes unbroken
But there's [Cadd9]so much left undone
[G]That's just [D/F#]how it [F]is
Between a [G]father and a [D]son
Solo (first half of chorus chords): D G D A
Chorus (second half):
Yeah the [Bm]circle goes unbroken
But there's [Cadd9]so much left undone

Oh, [G]that's just [D/F#]how it [F]is[G]
Between a father and a [D]son[G]
