Of missing persons – Jackson Browne (Album: Hold Out)
Intro:
|Am |F |C/E F |C/G |
|E |Am |F/G |C |
Am F C/E F C/G
Your father was a rounder he played that rock and roll
E Am F/G C
A leaper and a bounder down to his gypsy soul
Am F C/E F C/G
The music was his angel and sorrow was his star
E Am F/G C
And those of us who follow might hope to reach as far
Dm Em F C/G E/G# Am
They're walking slow in Houston speechless in D.C.
Dm Em F C/G G
There's no way I could tell you what he meant to me
Am F C/E F C/G
Your mother's a survivor she'll do what must be done
E Am F/G C
Her children will revive her and help her see the sun
Am F C/E F C/G
She almost knew that unison but the singing stopped too soon
E Am F/G C
Now she shares the silence with a man up in the moon
Dm Em F C/G E/G# Am
To speak of missing persons tonight there's only one
Dm Em F C/G G
And we all carry with us what the man's begun
F/G C F/C C
And you can sing this song on July the Fourth
F/C C F/C C
In the sunny south and the frozen north
F/C C F E
It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth
Am F/G
Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?
Am F C/E F C/G
Your brothers are all older and they'll take it in their stride
E Am F/G C
The world's a little colder but manhood's on their side
Am F C/E F C/G
Now you're the little girl-child and you look so much like him
E Am F/G C
And he's right there inside you each time you want to sing
Dm Em F C/G E/G# Am
Sing of missing persons tonight there's only one
Dm Em F C/G G
But he's where you can find him when it's said and done
F/G C F/C C
And we will sing this song on July the Fourth
F/C C F/C C
From the sunny south and the frozen north
F/C C F E
This will always be your day of birth
Am F/G
May you always see what your life is worth
