[Verse] EbEb7/G I'll catch the tramline in the morning Ab With your leave Van Bushell said Bb7 He had further heard the cock crow AbEb As he stumbled out the shed
Eb7 Then blind Joseph came towards him Ab With a shotgun in his arms Bb He said you'll pay me twenty dollars AbEb Before you leave my farm Bb Van Bushell saw the hook AbEb Which replaced Joseph's hand Ab He said now calm you down my brother BbEb Let's discuss this man to man Ab It's no good you getting angry EbG/DCmEb/Bb We must try to act our age AbBb You're pursuing your convictions BbEb Like some hermit in a cage
[Chorus] EbF7 You're the son of your father AbEb Try a little bit harder F7Bb7 Do for me as he would do for you EbF7 With blood and water bricks and mortar Ab7Eb He built for you a home Bb/DCm You're the son of your father AbEb So treat me as your own
[Verse] EbEb7/G Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle Ab And he emptied out the shells Bb7 Van Bushell he came towards him AbEb He shook his arm and wished him well Eb7 He said now hey blind man that is fine Ab But I sure can't waste my time Bb So move aside and let me go my way AbEb I've got a train to ride Ab Well Joseph turned around EbG/DCmEb/Bb His grin was now a frown AbBb He said let me just refresh your mind BbEb Your manners boy seem hard to find
[Chorus] EbF7 You're the son of your father AbEb Try a little bit harder F7Bb7 Do for me as he would do for you EbF7 With blood and water bricks and mortar Ab7Eb He built for you a home Bb/DCm You're the son of your father AbEb So treat me as your own
[Verse] EbEb7 Well there's two men lying dead as nails Ab On an East Virginia farm Bb For charity's an argument AbEb That only leads to harm Eb7 So be careful when they're kind to you Ab7 Don't you end up in the dirt Bb7 Just remember what I'm saying to you AbEb And you likely won't get hurt
[Chorus] EbF7 You're the son of your father AbEb Try a little bit harder F7Bb7 Do for me as he would do for you EbF7 With blood and water bricks and mortar Ab7Eb He built for you a home Bb/DCm You're the son of your father AbEb So treat me as your own
