My Father's Chair
Rick Springfield

Intro:
Bb majorBb  FF Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb FF G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF


Verse 1:
  Bb majorBb          FF    Bb majorBb
My Father's Chair still standing there
Eb MajorEb  FF   G minorGm   Eb MajorEb  FF
All alone since the long night
     Bb majorBb         FF    Bb majorBb
Now it's three years on and I still feel
Eb MajorEb     FF   G minorGm   Eb MajorEb FF
He'll come home, we'll be alright
        DmDm      Eb MajorEb
So where's this healing time brings
   FF          Bb majorBb
I was told the pain would ease
  Eb MajorEb    FF   G minorGm    Eb MajorEb  FF
But it still hurts like the first night
Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb     G minorGm     FF
That night my brother, my mother and I
Eb MajorEb          DmDm
Were looking up at a distant star
   C minorCm   Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
And wishing we could reach that far
  Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
And back in the house
  G minorGm      FF
And alone for the first time
C minorCm      Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
We told each other we cared
       FF    Bb majorBb
We avoided My Father's Chair

Verse 2:
 Bb majorBb        FF    Bb majorBb
I watch my family, we hold on
Eb MajorEb   FF     G minorGm    Eb MajorEb FF
We are strong and we'll be alright
  Bb majorBb               FF   Bb majorBb
The clock continues counting down, all the while
  Eb MajorEb  FF     G minorGm    Eb MajorEb  FF
And every child will share the long night
      DmDm      Eb MajorEb
But do the spirits meet again
     FF          Bb majorBb
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Eb MajorEb  FF  G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF
Is my soul everlasting
    Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
And the far distant future
    G minorGm      FF
When I knew you'd be gone
Eb MajorEb        DmDm
Came too fast and stays too long
      C minorCm    Bb majorBb
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
  Eb MajorEb    FF
And take the strong
     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
When the world turns sour
     G minorGm      FF
And I get sick from the smell
 C minorCm       Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
And I can't find no comfort there
        FF    Bb majorBb
I climb into My Father's Chair
