A word in you ear, from father to son
G C Em
Hear the word that I say
C D
I fought with you, fought on your side
G D E
Long before you were born
G C
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
Am D
From father to son, to son...
And the voice is so clear
Time after time it keeps calling you, calling you on
Don't destroy what you see, your country to be
Just keep building on the ground that's been won
Kings will be crowned, and the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Won't you hear us sing our family song
Now we hand it on, but I've heard it all before
D C G
Take this letter that I give you,
D C G
Take it sonny, hold it high
D C G
You won't understand a word that's in it,
D C
But you'll write it all again before you die
C D
A word in your ear, from father to son
G D Em
Funny you don't hear a single word I say
C D
But my letter to you will stay by your side
G D E
Through the years till the loneliness is gone
G C C/Am D Em A
Sing if you will but the air you breath I live to
give you
C
Father to son
Father to son, father to son, father to son
G C
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
Am G
From father to son, to son..
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son...
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son..
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son...
