The Ark - Father of a Son (2002)
Chords 5/2-2015 by Jon Malmin ([email protected])
Tuning: Standard E MajorE

The part right before the first chorus is a bit tricky, so listen to the song to learn the rhythm.
I simply use power chords for that, though there are probably other ways to do it even better!

[Intro]:
(No chords)
One day I will become, the father of a son!
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4  E MajorE
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!

D MajorD D A augmentedA
D MajorD D A augmentedA

[Verse 1]:
      A augmentedA   D MajorD
Well, I've had my share
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Of remarks about my rear
    C majorC          FF
But I know it's all 'bout fear
             BB           E MajorE
And that you'd probably love it if you'd only dare
        A augmentedA           D MajorD
And I know a thousand girls who'd go wild
    A augmentedA          D MajorD
If I'd ask them to bear my child
    C majorC            FF
So I don't see why you'd even care
   BB            E5E5 F#5F#5 G5G5 G5G5 G#5G#5
To prevent me, 'cause I can swear

[Chorus]:
     A augmentedA      D/AD/A
That one day I will become
   G/AG/A  D/AD/A  A augmentedA
The father of a son
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
   A augmentedA     D/AD/A
One day I will become
  G/AG/A  D/AD/A  A augmentedA
The father of a son
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

[Verse 2]:
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
And you're totally fogged in your head
       A augmentedA             D MajorD
If you were serious right now when you said
       C majorC                FF
That ?it's because they will be bullied in school?
            BB            E MajorE
'Cause that means you let the bullies set the rules
       A augmentedA       D MajorD
And you can legislate and oppress
       A augmentedA       D MajorD
And you can make my life a mess
     C majorC           FF
But you can't change the way I feel
    BB             E MajorE
Or convince me that my wish is unreal
       A augmentedA         D MajorD
And you can strike me down and fence me
       A augmentedA             D MajorD
And you can claim that there?s opinion against me
      C majorC       FF
But I'll still win over you, Sir
        BB             (No chord, drum fill)
'Cause if you fight love you're always a loser

[Chorus]:
     A augmentedA      D/AD/A
And one day I will become
   G/AG/A  D/AD/A  A augmentedA
The father of a son
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
   A augmentedA     D/AD/A
One day I will become
  G/AG/A  D/AD/A  A augmentedA
The father of a son
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

[Bridge]:
  FF    DmDm
And I may be gay
      A minorAm        E minorEm
But I can tell you straight away
      FF    E minorEm   DmDm    BB   Esus4Esus4   E MajorE
That I'll become a better father than all of you anyway
(So listen!)

[Outro]:
  A augmentedA      D/AD/A
One day I will become
  G/AG/A  D/AD/A  A augmentedA
The father of a son
   FF      D MajorD     Esus4Esus4  E MajorE (song fades out, keep playing E MajorE)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!
