[Verse 1]
AMy father was a F#m7working man Bm7
But his work was Dnever done A
He stood behind a couF#m7nter Bm7
And he smiled at everDyone
AHe bought himself a busiF#m7ness
Worked seven daysBm7 a week oh Dyeah
ATook a holiday for ChrF#m7istmas
But he fell asleep besidBm7e the tree
D2But one day
[Chorus]
EOne day Bm7 There's love for the lonely
EOne day Bm7 They walk in the sun
EOne day Bm7 Rest for the weary. Rest for the weary ones.

ANow my mother stF#m7ood beside hBm7im
She did what she Dcould do A
But if you look at some old photoF#m7graph Bm7
She looks tired tDoo
AI hope there was some laF#m7ughter
'Cause I know there Bm7were some tDears
ANow all I can say is I pray tF#m7o God
That after all those years,Bm7 after all those years
D2That one day
[Chorus]
EOne day Bm7 There's love for the lonely
EOne day Bm7 They walk in the sun

ANow I'm just anoF#m7ther travellBm7er
On another Dwinding roadA
I'm trying to walk some kind of lF#m7ine Bm7
I'm trying to pull some kind of lDoad
ANow sometimes I move reaF#m7l easy
Sometimes I can't caBm7tch my breaDth
ASometimes I see my father's fF#m7ootsteps
And man it scares me haBm7lf to death
D2But one day
[Chorus]
EOne day Bm7 There's love for the lonely
EOne day Bm7 We walk in the sun
EOne day Bm7 Rest for the weary. Rest for the weary ones.
