Dance With My Father

Tom : Bb
[Intro] Bb F Gm Eb
Bb F Eb F
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
Bb F Eb F
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Bb Eb
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Gb/dim Bb
Then up the stairs he would carry me
C/E F
And I knew for sure I was loved

[Refrão]
Bb F Gm Eb
If I could get another chance, another walk, another
dance with him
Cm Gm
I'd play a song that would never, ever end

[Próxima Parte]
Eb
How I'd love, love, love
F Bb
To dance with my father again
( Bb F Gm Eb )
Bb F
When I and my mother would disagree
Eb F
To get my way, I would run from her to him
Bb F
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Eb F Bb
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Bb Eb
Later that night when I was asleep
Gb/dim Bb
He left a dollar under my sheet
C F
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Eb
Cause I'd love, love, love
F Bb
To dance with my father again
Eb F
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
Bb Gm
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
Eb F
I pray for her even more than me
Cm F
I pray for her even more than me
( Bb F Gm Eb )
C G
I know I'm praying for much too much
Am F
But could you send back the only man she loved
Dm Am
I know you don't do it usually
F
But dear Lord she's dying
G C
To dance with my father again
Dm
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
( C G Am F C )
