The Only Child – Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender)
F Boy of mine F/ABbA/C# As your fortune comes to carry you down the line DmAm/CBb And you watch as the changes unfold DmAm/CBb And you sort among the stories you've been told FA/C#Dm If some pieces of the picture are hard to find BbBb/C And the answers to your questions are hard to hold
Bb Take good care of your mother F When you're making up your mind DmAmC Should one thing or another take you from behind DmF/C Though the world may make you hard and wild BbF And determine how your life is styled DmCG7/BBb When you've come to feel that you're the only child BbF Take good care of your brother
Bb Let the disappointments pass F Let the laughter fill your glass DmCBb Let your illusions last until they shatter Bb Whatever you might hope to find FDm Among the thoughts that crowd your mind FC There won't be many that ever really matter
Bb But take good care of your mother F And remember to be kind DmAmC When the pain of another will serve you to remind DmF/C That there are those who feel themselves exiled BbF On whom the fortune never smiled DmCG7/BBb And upon whose life the heartache has been piled
Bb They're just looking for another F Lonely child
|Bb9 |Bb9 |F |F | |Bb9 |Bb9 |F |F |
BbBdim And when you've found another soul F/CA/C#Dm Who sees into your own BbF Take good care of each other
|Bb |Bb |F |F | repeat & fade
