Father we've something to tell you
C Cmaj7 Am F
a story of our time

A tragic but inspiring tale

of manhood in its prime

You know you had a dozen sons

Well now that's not quite true

But feel no sorrow do not grieve

There's one more tear in my eye
Em Am
But Joseph the things that you stood for
F G C
Like love and peace never die
C Cmaj7 Am F
When I think of his last great battle
C Cmaj7 A
A lump comes to my throat

It takes a man who knows no fear
F C
To wrestle with a goat
Em A
His blood-stained coat is tribute to
F A
His final sacrifice
Em F
His body may be past its peak
F G C
But his soul's in paradise
C Cmaj7 Am F
There's one less place at our table
C Cmaj7 A
There's one more tear in my eye
Em A
But Joseph the things that you stood for
F G C
Like truth and light never die

Carve his name with pride and courage
Am A
Let no tear be shed
G Am F
If he had not laid down his life
F G C
We all would now be dead
