Chord/Tab song: Dad

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]INT[Gsus]RO[G][Gsus][G][Gsus][G][Gsus]

I re[G]member we'd leave early[C(add9)] in the Carolina rain,
And go [G]catching frogs and fishing off the [C(add9)]pier.[C][Cmaj7]
That was [D(add9)]back in 6[D]7,[Dsus]
[D]Haven't thought [D/F#]about those [D7]days in [G]years.[Gsus][G][Gsus]

And I [G]must have been a sight to see,
With a dirty face and skinned up knees.
Reaching up so I could hol[C(add9)]d your hand.[C][Cmaj7]
I [D]wish I'd said I love you then
But, I didn't know just [D/F#]how to [D7]tell you [G]Dad.[Gsus] [G][Gsus]

I re[G]member going th[Gsus]rough my teens in[G] tennis shoes and [Gsus]faded jeans,
[G] Thinking you could never under[C(add9)]stand. [C][Cmaj7]
Wish I'd [D]known what I was [Dsus]missing,
When I[D] didn't want to [D/F#]listen [D7]to you [G]Dad.[Gsus] [G][Gsus]

And the [Bm]pages of my [C]life just keep on [G]turning,[Gsus][G][Gsus][G]
The [Bm]way you always [C]told me they would [G]do.[Gsus] [G][Gsus][G]
There's [Bm]lessons in this [C]life that I'm still [G]learning,[Gsus] [G][Gsus][G]
Oh I [Am]wish I [G/B]was a [C]little more like [D]you.[Dsus] [D]

I was [G]just now thinking a[Gsus]bout you,
So I [C(add9)]took this time to write.
[G] Write me back or call me when you [C(add9)]can.[C][Cmaj7]
[D]Things back here are [Dsus]goin' well,
[D] There's really not much [D/F#]more to [D7]tell you [G]Dad.[Gsus] [G][Gsus]
[D] I just wanted you to know,
You're the best friend [D/F#]I've [D7]ever [G]had.[Gsus] [G][Gsus][G][Gsus][G][Gsus]
