[Intro]
D A/C# Bm G
[Verse 1]
D A/C# Bm
I don't know much about you, I don't
G
know who you are
D A/C#
And we'd been doing fine without you,
Bm G
but we could only go so far
D A/C#
I don't know why you chose us, were you
Bm G
watching from above
D A/C#
Is there someone there that knows us
Bm G D A/C# Bm G
said we'd give you all our love
[Verse 2]
D A/C#
Will you laugh just like your mother will
Bm G
you sigh like your old man
D A/C#
Will some things skip a generation like I've
Bm G
heard they often can
[Chorus]
A Bm D A/C#
Are you a poet or a dancer, a devil or a
G
clown
D A/C# Bm A6
Or a strange new combination of the
G A D A/C# Bm G
things we've handed down
[Verse 3]
D A/C#
I wonder who you'll look like, will your
Bm G
hair fall down and curl
D A/C# Bm
Will you be a momma's boy or daddy's
G
little girl
D A/C#
Will you be a sad reminder of what's been
Bm G
lost along the way
D A/C#
Maybe you can help me find her in the
Bm G
things you do and say
[Chorus]
A Bm
And these things that we have given you
D A/C# G
They are not so easily found
D A/C# Bm
But you can thank us later
A6 G A D A/C# Bm G
For the things we've handed down
[Verse 4]
D A/C#
You may not always be so grateful for the
Bm G
way that you were made
D A/C#
Maybe some feature of your father's that
Bm G
you'd gladly sell or trade
D A/C# Bm
And one day you may look at us and say
G
that you were cursed
D A/C#
But over time that line has been
Bm G
extremely well rehearsed
[Chorus]
A Bm
By our fathers and their fathers in some
D A/C# G
old and distant town
D A/C# Bm
From places no one here remembers
A6 G A D A/C# Bm G
come the things we've handed down
D A/C# Bm G
[Verse 1]
