Dick Gaughan

The Fathers Song

by Dick Gaughan
Dick Gaughan

Biography:

Dick Gaughan (born Richard Peter Gaughan on 17 May 1948 in Glasgow) is an influential Scottish musician, singer, and songwriter. He was a founding member of Celtic bands Boys of the Lough (appearing on their first album in 1972) and Five Hand Reel (with whom he played from 1974-1980). On top of that he has a number of fine albums of his own.

Gaughan took up the guitar at the age of seven. Although he has later sung in Scottish Gaelic, he is not fluent in that language; he has a powerful command of his native Scots.

Am E7 Am
That's another day gone by, son, close your eyes
C G F
For the moon is chasing clouds across the skies
Am E7
Got to sleep and have no fear, son
C G F
For your mam and dad are near, son
G F E7
And the giant is just a shadow on the wall

Am E7 Am
Go to sleep and when you wake it will be light
C G F
There's no need to fear the darkness of the night
Am E7
It's not like the dark you find, son
C G F
In the depths of some men's minds, son
G F E7
That defies the daily coming of the dawn

Am E7 Am
Stop crying now, let daddy dry your tears
C G F
There's no bogeyman to get you, never fear
Am E7
There's no ogres, wicked witches
C G F
Only greedy sons-of-bitches
G F E7
Who are waiting to exploit your life away

Am E7 Am
Lie easy in your bed and grow up strong
C G F
You'll be needing all your strength before too long
Am E7
For you'll soon be on your way, son
C G F
Fighting battles every day, son
G F E7
With an enemy who thinks he owns the world

Am E7 Am
Don't you let 'em buy you out or break your pride
C G F
Don't you let yourself be used then cast aside
Am E7
If you listen to their lying
C G F
They will con you into dying
G F E7
You won't even know that you were once alive

Am E7 Am
No more talking now it's time to go to sleep
C G F
There are answers to your questions but they'll keep
Am E7
Go on asking while you grow, son
C G F
Go on asking till you know, son
E7 F G
And then send the answers ringing through the world
G F E7
And then send the answers ringing through the world
