Cliff Eberhardt - My Father's Shoes
[Intro]
G D Em C D G D Em C D
[Verse 1]
G D Em C D
I will be thankful for the gifts that were given
G D Em C D
I will not turn my back on the past
G D Em C D
You should not resent me for moving forward
G D Em C D G D
I cannot rectify all the things that went bad for you
[Verse 2]
Em Bm C D G
I cannot move where these four walls surround me
Em Bm C D G
Even though it may be right for you
Em Bm C D G
I cannot see through another man's eyes
Em Bm C D G
I will not walk in my father's shoes
[Instrumental]
G D Em C D G D Em C D
[Verse 3]
G D Em C D
They came here for reasons that have long been forgotten
G D Em C D
An escape from a life that was not their own
G D Em C D
But they've passed down possessions through the generations
G D Em C D
Here you will live in your father's home
[Verse 4]
Em Bm C D G
For is it the brave who destroy the circle
Em Bm C D G
There are no heroes who gamble and lose
Em Bm C D G
I do not resemble the face in the picture
Em Bm C D G
I will not walk in my father's shoes
Em Bm C D G
I will not walk in my father's shoes
[Instrumental]
G D Em C D G D Em C D
[Bridge]
Em C D G
I cannot improve on what you have created
D C G D
I cannot impress you with the things that I see
Em C D G
I never have asked you for too many favours
D C G D
I never have asked you to be more like me
[Verse 5]
Em Bm C D G
Would I be selfish to alter the order
Em Bm C D G
Would I be foolish to not follow you
Em Bm C D G
But I have the strength to walk past all that you have
Em Bm C D G
I will not walk in my father's shoes
Em Bm C D G
I will not walk in my father's shoes
