Son Of Your Father

Eb Eb7 I'll catch the tramline in the morning Ab With your leave Van Bushell said Bb Bb7 He had further heard the cock crow Ab Eb As he stumbled out the shed Eb7 Then blind Joseph came towards him Ab With a shotgun in his arms Bb Bb7 He said you'll pay me twenty dollars Ab Eb Before you leave my farm Bb7 Van Bushell saw the hook Ab Eb Which replaced Joseph's hand Eb7 Ab He said now calm you down my brother Bb7 Eb Let's discuss this man to man Eb7 Ab It's no good you getting angry Eb Bb/D Cm We must try to act our age Cm7/Bb Ab Eb You're pursuing your convictions Ab Eb Like some hermit in a cage Eb F7 You're the son of your father Ab Eb Try a little bit harder F7 Bb Do for me as he would do for you Eb F7 With blood and water bricks and mortar Ab Eb He built for you a home Eb Bb/D Cm Cm7/Bb You're the son of your father Ab Eb So treat me as your own Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle And he emptied out the shells Van Bushell he came towards him He shook his arm and wished him well He said now hey blind man that is fine But I sure can't waste my time So move aside and let me go my way I've got a train to ride Well Joseph turned around His grin was now a frown He said let me just refresh your mind Your manners boy seem hard to find You're the son of your father... Well there's two men lying dead as nails On an East Virginia farm For charity's an argument That only leads to harm So be careful when they're kind to you Don't you end up in the dirt Just remember what I'm saying to you And you likely won't get hurt
