Marc Cohn - The things weve handed down

I d^Don't know much ^A/C#about you, I ^Bmdon't know who you ^Gare And we'd been ^Ddoing fine ^A/C#without you, but we could ^Bmonly go so ^Gfar I d^Don't know why you ^A/C#chose us, were you ^Bmwatching from ^Gabove Is there ^Dsomeone there that ^A/C#knows us said we'd ^Bmgive you all ^Gour ^Dlo^A/C#ve ^{Bm G}

Will you ^Dlaugh just like your ^A/C#mother will you ^Bmsigh like your old m^Gan Will some things ^Dskip a gene^A/C#ration like I've ^Bmheard they often ^Gcan

Are you a ^Apoet or a d^Bmancer, a ^Ddevil o^A/C#r a cl^Gown Or a ^Dstrange new ^A/C#combin^Bmation o^A6f the ^Gthings we've ^Ahanded ^Ddow^A/C#n ^{Bm G}

I ^Dwonder who you'll ^A/C#look like, will your h^Bmair fall down and c^Gurl W^Dill you be a ^A/C#momma's boy or d^Bmaddy's little g^Girl Will you ^Dbe a sad r^A/C#eminder of what's been ^Bmlost along the ^Gway Maybe ^Dyou can help me ^A/C#find her in the ^Bmthings you do and s^Gay

And these ^Athings that we have ^Bmgiven you They are ^Dnot so ^A/C#easily f^Gound But y^Dou can t^A/C#hank us l^Bmater ^A6For the t^Ghings we've h^Aanded d^Down^{A/C# Bm G}

You may not ^Dalways be so g^A/C#rateful for the ^Bmway that you were ^Gmade Maybe some ^Dfeature of your f^A/C#ather's that you'd ^Bmgladly sell or t^Grade And ^Done day you may l^A/C#ook at us and ^Bmsay that you were c^Gursed But o^Dver time that ^A/C#line has been ^Bmextremely well reh^Gearsed

By our f^Aathers and their f^Bmathers in some ^Dold and d^A/C#istant t^Gown From places ^Dno one ^A/C#here rem^Bmembers ^A6come the ^Gthings we've ^Ahanded d^Down^{A/C# Bm G}
