A great and very simple song originally played on uke. Verses: Gm F C

^Gm You were ^Fseven^Cteen the year your father died ^Gm And he was ^Ffifty-^Cthree when you were seventeen

^Gm In the ^Fmuseum ^Cwhere you laid your head to sleep ^Gm The arti^Ffacts were cold to ^Ccomfort you

Chorus: Cm Dm

^CmAnd while you were growing older ^DmHe was busy growing older

^Gmtoo, bah dah ^Fdum, da dah dah dah ^Cdum

Bridge: Gm Cm F Cm F

^Gm And was it ^Cmfair to ^F ^Cmblame the ^Fgi- ^Gmrl, And was it ^Cmfair to ^F ^Cmmake the ^Fchild

^Gmchoose, And when you ^Cmstood next ^Fto the ^Cmmoun-^Fta- ^Gmin, Did you ^Cmswear that you could ^Fhear him ^Cmcalling ^Fyou?

^Gm bah dah ^Fdum, da dah dah dah ^Cdum

Other verses: 2 When you heard them fighting you hid in the apple tree The branches broke their noise And when your brother studied at the university You were left alone to realize 3 In the summer when your father drove you to the river And he would sing so loud Soon to be kept silent when you climbed through barbed-wired fences To get to the riverside 4 And in February you were running late one day And out the door you ran Leaving left unsaid the things you’d soon regret not telling Never knowing this would be your last chance 5 I am twenty-two and you are fifty-three And only blood can tell That we are made up of strings and strands of DNA Dancing waltzes in our cells
