My Father Melanie
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G C G C G
My father always promised us
[C]We would live in [G]France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
And [C]I would learn to [D]dance[Em]
We lived in O[A]hio then
And [D]he worked in the mines[Dm]
On his dreams, like [G]boats, we knew
[C]We would sail in [Bb]time_[G]__
All my sisters soon were gone
To [C]Denver and Chey[G]enne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The [C]lilacs and the [D]man[Em]
I stayed beh[A]ind the youngest[D]
And only danced alone[Dm]
The colours of my [G]father's dreams
[C]Faded without a [Bb]sound[G]
And now I live in Paris
And my [C]children dance and [G]dream
Hearing the story of a miner's life
In [C]words they've never [D]seen[Em]
I sailed my memo[A]ries of old
Like [D]boats across the Seine[Dm]
And I watched the [G]Paris sun
[C]Set in my father's [Bb]eyes a[G]gain
My father always promised us
We would live in France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
