Son Of Your Father chords by Elton John

Chords with lyrics

Eb MajorEb       Eb7Eb7
I'll catch the tramline in the morning
     AbAb
With your leave Van Bushell said
    Bb majorBb        Bb7Bb7
He had further heard the cock crow
   AbAb        Eb MajorEb
As he stumbled out the shed

   Eb7Eb7
Then blind Joseph came towards him
    AbAb
With a shotgun in his arms
        Bb majorBb      Bb7Bb7
He said you'll pay me twenty dollars
AbAb         Eb MajorEb
Before you leave my farm

  Bb7Bb7
Van Bushell saw the hook
    AbAb       Eb MajorEb
Which replaced Joseph's hand
      Eb7Eb7       AbAb
He said now calm you down my brother
   Bb7Bb7         Eb MajorEb
Let's discuss this man to man

    Eb7Eb7       AbAb
It's no good you getting angry
    Eb MajorEb   Bb/DBb/D  C minorCm
We must try to act our age
Cm7/Bb   AbAb      Eb MajorEb
You're pursuing your convictions
     AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Like some hermit in a cage

      Eb MajorEb     F7F7
You're the son of your father
AbAb        Eb MajorEb
Try a little bit harder
       F7F7       Bb majorBb
Do for me as he would do for you
   Eb MajorEb       F7F7
With blood and water bricks and mortar
  AbAb       Eb MajorEb
He built for you a home
      Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D  C minorCm Cm7/Bb
You're the son of your father
  AbAb        Eb MajorEb
So treat me as your own

Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle
And he emptied out the shells
Van Bushell he came towards him
He shook his arm and wished him well

He said now hey blind man that is fine
But I sure can't waste my time
So move aside and let me go my way
I've got a train to ride


Well Joseph turned around
His grin was now a frown
He said let me just refresh your mind
Your manners boy seem hard to find

You're the son of your father...

Well there's two men lying dead as nails
On an East Virginia farm
For charity's an argument
That only leads to harm

So be careful when they're kind to you
Don't you end up in the dirt
Just remember what I'm saying to you
And you likely won't get hurt
