Father
Kurt Nilsen
Tonene d og g (----33 på gitaren) ligger stort sett gjennom hele sangen. Det KAN spilles sånn, men det høres litt rart ut på en ensom gitar.

G
Em7
He loved the good drink and conversation
Cadd9
Old story about his rich lived life
Em7 G/d
Smoked 40 a day, trucking was life
G Cadd9
With me right by his side
Em7 Dadd11/f#
He loved the hard work with a passion
G/d Cadd9
And the long drive throughout the night
Em7 Dadd11
Seeing the world, flying like a bird
G Cadd9
And we've been waiting most of our lives
Am7
To get him home,
D7
to get him home
G C
I got the call on my birthday:
Am D7
“Sorry, son, I have to say
Em7 C
Your daddy's gone, I won't make it back.
Am7 D7
Daddy's gone, I can't make it back.
G C
I hope you spend your day as best you can.
Am7 D7
All my love to you from your old man.
G/h Cadd9
Daddy's gone, I won't make it back
Am7
to you,
D7
To you.”
G
Em7
He loved my mama 'til his final breath
G
But loved the wine and road even more, I bet
Em7
Years went by before I saw him again
G C
As I grew up, I started understand
Em D/f#
That heroes fade and new one comes
G C
But I know where I belong
Am7
My love for him will always stay strong,
D7
I know
G C
I got the call on my daughter's day
Am D7
"Sorry, son, I'm too far away
Em7 C
Your daddy's gone, I won't make it back
Am7 D7
Daddy's gone, I won't make it back
G C
I hope you spend your day as best you can
Am7 D7
All my love to her from your old man
G/h Cadd9
Your daddy's gone and he ain't coming back
Am7
to you,
D7
To you."
Am7 G D Em/h Cmaj7
Am7 G D Em/h C
Am7
I like to think that the man I knew
D7
Has finally found his peace
Am7
I like to think that the man I knew
D7
Is looking down on me, sometimes
G C
I got the call just the other day
Am7 D7
With a strange sad voice, she had to say:
Em7 C
"Your daddy's gone and he ain't coming back,
Am7 D7
Your daddy's gone and he ain't coming back."
G C
I hope he left this world with a big old smile
Am7 D7
Felt our love as he closed his eyes.
G/h C
Daddy's gone, and he ain't coming back
Am7
to me
D7 G
To me, oh-oh
