I wrote this song for my father
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Though he raised me like he should
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Did he understand me? No, no, I don't think so.
E minorEm C majorC
I wrote this song for my mother
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
She had to leave me, when I was younger
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
She said son, seek this life, and keep an open mind
But in my mind's eye...
(Chorus)
C majorC E minorEm
I am free now
G+G D MajorD
Free to live without my fears
C majorC E minorEm
I believe now
G+G D MajorD
There's a reason why I'm here.
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD (strum chords 2 times again through 2nd verse)
It's to try and do good
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's to try and do better.
Who will I be for my daughter?
This little baby, she means the world to me
Will I relive their mistakes?
Or do things the right way
For her sake.
I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here
C majorC
Can I be a man?
E minorEm
One that understands
G+G D MajorD
How to love more patiently
C majorC E minorEm
I'll be free now
G+G D MajorD
I'll be free now.
(Play bridge with palm mute)
E minorEm C majorC
And we dream of the day, when our kids can play
G+G D MajorD
In the streets with no fear of them being taken away
E minorEm C majorC
Fathers raise their sons with respect and love
G+G D MajorD
Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns
E minorEm C majorC
If we hope to be free it takes you and me
G+G D MajorD
To start over here and now
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
'Cause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids.
E minorEm C majorC (strum twice again :)

And hopefully make things a little better.
I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here.
Can I be a man?
One that understands
How to love more patiently
