J.P. Cormier - The Unfinished Song




CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC G+G (4x) C majorC

       G+G       C majorC          G+G   C majorC
He said, "I'm sorry for the way that things went down.
    G+G          C majorC          G+G  ~
And the wife and I wish that you were still around.
    E minorEm       E minor 7Em7        C majorC
But we know for you to tear the threads away
     G+G       A7A7      D7D7
Would be difficult, so I just wanna say.

  G+G            C majorC      G+G   C majorC
"We caught your show at the Orpheum last night
    G+G         C majorC         G+G   ~
And it took me back to when everything was right
    E minorEm        E minor 7Em7      C majorC
And the pictures that she made are all redrawn
      G+G        A7A7       G+G
But they're incomplete like some unfinished song"


INTERLUDE:
B minorBm  C majorC     G+G D MajorD G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
       (ah ah ah)

              C majorC       G+G   C majorC
"I guess retirement's been treating us alright
    G+G          C majorC      G+G   ~
But the house has seemed so quiet now at night
    E minorEm       E minor 7Em7       C majorC
And her older sister's child is getting grown
    G+G         A7A7      D7D7
And our oldest, well, she's hardly ever home


   G+G       C majorC        G+G   C majorC
"It's funny how the river twists and turns
  G+G          C majorC        G+G   ~
You run back across the bridge before it burns
    E minorEm        E minor 7Em7       C majorC
But no matter what, when all is said and done
 G+G         A7A7        G+G
I always thought one day I'd call you 'Son'"

INTERLUDE:
B minorBm  C majorC     G+G D MajorD G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
       (ah ah ah)
B minorBm  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh


N.C. G+G       C majorC          G+G   C majorC
"She doesn't really come 'round home too much
    G+G           C majorC        G+G   ~
And the past is something she doesn't like to touch
   E minorEm        E minor 7Em7     C majorC
And I watch her try to never let it show
    G+G           A7A7         D7D7
How she hides her eyes when we hear you on the radio


  G+G       C majorC          G+G    C majorC
"No matter how we wished things could change
 G+G            C majorC         G+G   ~
I guess, the more they're bound to stay the same
    E minorEm       E minor 7Em7       C majorC
But we know you always did the best you could
   G+G       A7A7      G+G
Much more than just anybody would"


INTERLUDE:
B minorBm  C majorC     G+G D MajorD G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
       (ah ah ah ah)
B minorBm  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
B minorBm    C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


N.C.  G+G         C majorC        G+G   C majorC
Well, I watched him as he turned to walk away
 G+G        C majorC         G+G   ~
Another smile and one more friendly wave
  E minorEm        E minor 7Em7       C majorC
And as he pulled his car out from the curb
 G+G     A7A7          D7D7
I realised I hadn't said a single word


    G+G        C majorC          G+G   C majorC
Well, I wonder just how long that she'll pretend
     G+G        C majorC           G+G   ~
Will she race her foolish pride right 'til the end?
      E minorEm        E minor 7Em7     C majorC
And she'll keep that heart a secret, I suppose
  G+G     A7A7       G+G  C majorC G+G
But somehow a father always knows
                C majorC          G+G   C majorC G+G
And he said, "I'm sorry for the way that things went down"
