Fathers And Mothers chords by Lukas Nelson And Promise Of The Real

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
A
Take what we can get
A
Like moments like these

Times we won't forget
                        E
Because they need to be remembered
D
Mother used to tell us
                    A
Things we needed to know
               E
She still does today

For the times I never did
                       A
I think I'll honor her today

A
Appreciate the times
A
We get by ourselfs

Hang on to every line
                          E
Because we're hardly ever here
D
Father used to show us
                 A
How to grow into men
                 E
We still look at him

And I'm speaking for my kin
                          A
To take the time to honor him


Chorus:
              D                      A
I'm trying to honor my father and my mother
E                            A
Appreciate my sisters and my brothers
D                            A
Let's all get along with one another
          E                         A
So we can honor you fathers and our mothers


Verse:
A
Remember my mistakes
A
Too many to count

And raising all the stakes
                 E
Every day I get older
 D                                  A
I try to do my best to twindle them down
                   E
But I'll always be working

And it's them I have to thank
                        A
For the life I'm living now


Chorus:
              D                       A
I'm trying to honor my father and my mother
E                            A
Appreciate my sisters and my brothers
D                            A
Let's all get along with one another
          E                         A
So we can honor you fathers and our mothers


Verse:
A
Someday when I die
A
I'll look at myself

And what I find inside
                E
I'll take to my grave
D
I know in my soul
             A
My mother is there
             E
And so is my father

And they'll be leading me to heaven
                              A
With the loved that they have saved


Chorus:
              D                      A
I'm trying to honor my father and my mother
E                            A
Appreciate my sisters and my brothers
D                            A
Let's all get along with one another
E                                   A
So we can honor you fathers and our mothers


Chorus:
D                      A
Honor my father and my mother
E                            A
Appreciate my sisters and my brothers

Let's all get along with one another

So we can honor you fathers and our mothers
