Father Of A Son chords by The Ark

The Ark - Father of a Son (2002)
Chords 5/2-2015 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E

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!
     F            D          Esus4   E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!

D D A
D D A

[Verse 1]:
            A      D
Well, I've had my share
      A              D
Of remarks about my rear
       C                   F
But I know it's all 'bout fear
                         B                     E
And that you'd probably love it if you'd only dare
                A                     D
And I know a thousand girls who'd go wild
        A                   D
If I'd ask them to bear my child
       C                        F
So I don't see why you'd even care
      B                       E5  F#5  G5  G5  G#5
To prevent me, 'cause I can swear

[Chorus]:
          A            D/A
That one day I will become
     G/A   D/A   A
The father of a son
     F           D          Esus4  E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
     A          D/A
One day I will become
    G/A    D/A   A
The father of a son
     F           D          Esus4  E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

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

[Chorus]:
         A            D/A
And one day I will become
     G/A   D/A   A
The father of a son
     F           D          Esus4  E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
     A          D/A
One day I will become
    G/A    D/A   A
The father of a son
     F           D          Esus4  E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

[Bridge]:
    F        Dm
And I may be gay
           Am                Em
But I can tell you straight away
            F       Em      Dm        B      Esus4      E
That I'll become a better father than all of you anyway
(So listen!)

[Outro]:
    A           D/A
One day I will become
    G/A    D/A   A
The father of a son
     F            D          Esus4   E  (song fades out, keep playing E)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!
