Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro] D G A G D [Verse 1]
D Last week I attended a family aGffair And a Afew remarked upon my recent Ggrowth of facial Dhair DYou look just like your father did with that beard someone Gsaid I aAnswered back I am him even Gthough my old man's Ddead I Adidn't want to be GhimD well at first I Adid AWhen I loved and looked Gup to himD as a Alittle Dkid
[Verse 2]
DHe sent me to his old school I was a numeral with his Gname And he Agave me this gold signet ring and he Gwore one just the Dsame DAnd I guess that I believed him and probably it was Gtrue When he Atold me I was just like him, that's Gwhat some fathers Ddo But a Afather's always Golder and my Ddad was rather Atall AWho says size Gdoesn't matter, he was Dbig and AI was Dsmall
[Instrumental] D G A G D [Verse 3]
DI needed to be big enough to be someone someGday And I Alearned I had to beat him and that Gwas the only Dway DI learned I had to fight him, my own flesh, blood, bone and Gkin But I Afelt I was just like him can a Gman's son be his Dtwin First Awe fought for my Gmother, that afDforded little Ajoy AWhen he left she was heart Gbroken and I was Dstill their Alittle Dboy
[Verse 4]
DBut I started to get bigger and to win the ugly Ggame When I Amade a little money and I Ggot a bit of Dfame DAnd I saw how this could wound him, yes this could do the Gtrick And if AI made it big enough I could Gkill him off Dquick But how Acan you murder Gsomeone in a Dway that they don't Adie AI didn't want to Gkill him, that would Dbe sAuicDide
[Instrumental] D G A G D [Verse 5]
DI got frightened so I backed off I let up and I was Gthrough And in the Aend he did himself in usualGly that's what we Ddo DI'm alive and he is dead and neither of us Gwon It's Aspoiled for the victor once the Gvanquishing is Ddone A Aman becomes imGmortal through his Ddaughter or his Ason ABut when he fears his Glegacy, a Dman can Acome unDdone
[Outro]
DAnd the beard is a reminder I'm a living part of Ghim AlAthough my father's dead and gone I'm Ghis surviving Dtwin
D G
AlAthough the old man's dead and gone I'm Ghis surviving Dtwin
