Of missing persons – Jackson Browne (Album: Hold Out)
Intro: |Am |F |C/EF |C/G | |E |Am |F/G |C |
AmFC/EFC/G Your father was a rounder he played that rock and roll EAmF/GC A leaper and a bounder down to his gypsy soul AmFC/EFC/G The music was his angel and sorrow was his star EAmF/GC And those of us who follow might hope to reach as far
DmEmFC/GE/G#Am They're walking slow in Houston speechless in D.C. DmEmFC/GG There's no way I could tell you what he meant to me
AmFC/EFC/G Your mother's a survivor she'll do what must be done EAmF/GC Her children will revive her and help her see the sun AmFC/EFC/G She almost knew that unison but the singing stopped too soon EAmF/GC Now she shares the silence with a man up in the moon
DmEmFC/GE/G#Am To speak of missing persons tonight there's only one DmEmFC/GG And we all carry with us what the man's begun
F/GCF/CC And you can sing this song on July the Fourth F/CCF/CC In the sunny south and the frozen north F/CCFE It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth AmF/G Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?
AmFC/EFC/G Your brothers are all older and they'll take it in their stride EAmF/GC The world's a little colder but manhood's on their side AmFC/EFC/G Now you're the little girl-child and you look so much like him EAmF/GC And he's right there inside you each time you want to sing
DmEmFC/GE/G#Am Sing of missing persons tonight there's only one DmEmFC/GG But he's where you can find him when it's said and done
F/GCF/CC And we will sing this song on July the Fourth F/CCF/CC From the sunny south and the frozen north F/CCFE This will always be your day of birth AmF/G May you always see what your life is worth
F/GCF/CC And you can sing this song on July the Fourth F/CCF/CC In the sunny south and the frozen north F/CCF/CC It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth
Coda: |CF/C |C | (repeat till end)
