Come My Little Son chords by Luke Kelly

F              C       F               Bb      F
Come me little son and I will tell you what we'll do,
F                         Bb   F                   Fsus2   Bb
Undress yourself, and get into bed and a tale I'll tell to you
     F              Bb     F                     Bb  Bbsus2
It's all about your daddy, he's a man you seldom see,
         F      C     C/E      F                   Bb      F
For he's had to roam away from home, far away from you and me.

[Chorus]
F                 Bb         F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
F                   Fsus2 Bb  Bbsus2
Though he's working far   away,
       F        C            C/E     F              Bb     F
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
             Bb   F
On England's motorway.

F                 C        F               Bb      F
Now When you fall and hurt yourself and get to feeling bad,
   F         Bb      F            Fsus2    Bb
It isn't any good to go a-running for your dad,
        F               Bb       F                            Bb  Bbsus2
For the only time since you were born, he's had to spend with you,
       F        C          C/E      F                   Bb     F
He was out of a job and he hadn't a bob, he was signing on the brew

F                 Bb         F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
F                   Fsus2 Bb  Bbsus2
Though he's working far   away,
       F        C            C/E     F              Bb     F
In the cold and heat all the hours a week,
             Bb   F
On England's motorway.

F                   C     F                 Bb       F
Sure we'd like your daddy here, yes sure it would be fine,
   F                Bb     F                    Fsus2   Bb
To have him working nearer home, and to see him all the time,
    F                Bb       F                       Bb  Bbsus2
But beggars can't be choosers and we have to bear our load,
       F        C          C/E   F               Bb     F
For we need the money your daddy earns a working on the road.

[Chorus]
F                 Bb         F
Remember lad he's still your dad,
          F       Fsus2   Bb  Bbsus2
And he'll soon be home to stay,
      F       C         C/E    F
for a week or two, with me and you
          F         Bb   F
When he's built the motorway.
