Difficulty: 0

Verse 1:

FF        C majorC
Don't know much about you
   DmDm      Bb majorBb
Don't know who you are
      FF       C majorC
We've been doing fine without you
       DmDm     Bb majorBb
But, we could only go so far
FF         C majorC
Don't know why you chose us
     DmDm      Bb majorBb
Were you watching from above
     FF         C majorC
Is there someone there that knows us
     DmDm        Bb majorBb  | FF / C majorC / | Bb majorBb / C majorC / |
Said we'd give you all our love

Verse 2:

     FF          C majorC
Will you laugh just like your mother
     DmDm         Bb majorBb
Will you sigh like your old man
      FF     C majorC
Some things skip a generation
     DmDm        Bb majorBb
Like I've heard they often can
     C majorC     DmDm
Are you a poet or a dancer
 FF   C majorC  Bb majorBb
A augmentedA devil or a clown
   FF      C majorC  DmDm
Or a strange new combination of
  Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF / C majorC / | Bb majorBb / C majorC / |
The things we've handed down


Verse 3:

 FF         C majorC
I wonder who you'll look like
     DmDm         Bb majorBb
Will your hair fall down and curl
FF       C majorC
Will you be a mama's boy
  DmDm       Bb majorBb
Or daddy's little girl
     FF     C majorC
Will you be a sad reminder
        DmDm       Bb majorBb
Of what's been lost along the way
   FF        C majorC
Maybe you can help me find her
    DmDm        Bb majorBb  FF / C majorC / | Bb majorBb / C majorC / |
In the things you do and -- say
     C majorC          DmDm
And these things that we have given
     FF   C majorC   Bb majorBb
They are not so easily found
  FF    F/E   DmDm
But you can thank us later
C majorC    Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF / F/E / | DmDm
For the things we've handed down
  Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF  / F/E / | DmDm / Bb majorBb
The things we've handed down

Verse 4:

       FF      C majorC
You may not always be so grateful
    DmDm        Bb majorBb
For the way that you were made
   FF        C majorC
Some feature of your father's
      DmDm       Bb majorBb
That you'd gladly sell or trade
  FF        C majorC
And one day you may look at us
  DmDm        Bb majorBb
And say that you were cursed
  FF       C majorC
But over time that line has been
 DmDm       Bb majorBb
Extremely well rehearsed
    C majorC         DmDm
By our fathers, and their fathers
    FF    C majorC    Bb majorBb
In some old and distant town
      FF   C majorC   DmDm
From places no one here remembers
     Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF / F/E / | DmDm
Come the things we've handed down
  Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF  / F/E / | DmDm
The things we've handed down
  Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF
