Chords with lyrics

FF       C majorC    FF        Bb majorBb   FF
Come me little son and I will tell you what we'll do,
FF             Bb majorBb  FF          Fsus2Fsus2  Bb majorBb
Undress yourself, and get into bed and a tale I'll tell to you
   FF       Bb majorBb   FF           Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
It's all about your daddy, he's a man you seldom see,
     FF   C majorC   C/EC/E   FF          Bb majorBb   FF
For he's had to roam away from home, far away from you and me.

[Chorus]
FF         Bb majorBb     FF
Remember lad he's still your dad,
FF          Fsus2Fsus2 Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
Though he's working far  away,
    FF    C majorC      C/EC/E   FF       Bb majorBb   FF
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
       Bb majorBb  FF
On England's motorway.

FF         C majorC    FF        Bb majorBb   FF
Now When you fall and hurt yourself and get to feeling bad,
  FF     Bb majorBb   FF      Fsus2Fsus2  Bb majorBb
It isn't any good to go a-running for your dad,
    FF        Bb majorBb    FF              Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
For the only time since you were born, he's had to spend with you,
    FF    C majorC     C/EC/E   FF          Bb majorBb   FF
He was out of a job and he hadn't a bob, he was signing on the brew

FF         Bb majorBb     FF
Remember lad he's still your dad,
FF          Fsus2Fsus2 Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
Though he's working far  away,
    FF    C majorC      C/EC/E   FF       Bb majorBb   FF
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
       Bb majorBb  FF
On England's motorway.

FF          C majorC   FF         Bb majorBb    FF
Sure we'd like your daddy here, yes sure it would be fine,
  FF        Bb majorBb   FF          Fsus2Fsus2  Bb majorBb
To have him working nearer home, and to see him all the time,
  FF        Bb majorBb    FF            Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
But beggars can't be choosers and we have to bear our load,
    FF    C majorC     C/EC/E  FF        Bb majorBb   FF
For we need the money your daddy earns a working on the road.

[Chorus]
FF         Bb majorBb     FF
Remember lad he's still your dad,
     FF    Fsus2Fsus2  Bb majorBb Bbsus2Bbsus2
And he'll soon be home to stay,
   FF    C majorC     C/EC/E  FF
for a week or two, with me and you
     FF     Bb majorBb  FF
When he's built the motorway.
