Intro: B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
B minorBm
I walked the steps of my father today
G+G
Worked till I froze and my face turned grey
D MajorD G+G
And all of my fingers calloused and worn to the bone
B minorBm
And I felt like a child in a world full of men
G+G
Trying to capture that something again
D MajorD G+G
Strong as an ox but slowly turning to stone
B minorBm G+G
Walking away from this room dark and grey
B minorBm G+G
Smoke hangs in clouds and the old echo plays
D MajorD
And the music is soft
A augmentedA
And the voice it is hushed
B minorBm
And the boy he has loved
G+G
And the man he has lost
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And I walk out in the rain
G+G
All over again
(B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA)
B minorBm
I felt the touch of my mother today
G+G
Gently pushing me forward again
D MajorD G+G
Closing my eyes but still feeling the way
B minorBm
And I'm clutching at fingers through crumples & creases
G+G
I came to my senses it cut me to pieces
D MajorD G+G
'Cause I needed more but I was pulling away
B minorBm G+G
Walking alone with these legs made of stone
B minorBm G+G
I'm almost dry and I'm almost home
D MajorD
Where the photographs smile
A augmentedA
And I'm still someone's child
B minorBm
And my place it is set
G+G
So I'll stay for a while
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Till I walk out in the rain
G+G
Like water would stain
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
And I'm born all over again, and I
D MajorD A augmentedA
And I walked
B minorBm G+G
Out in the rain
