Jackson Browne é um cantor e compositor norte-americano. Seu interesse político e suas angústias pessoais têm sido o centro de sua carreira, resultando em canções populares como “Somebody’s Baby”, “These Days”, “The Pretender” e “Running On Empty”. Em 2004, Browne foi introduzido no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame por seu amigo Bruce Springsteen. No mesmo ano, Browne recebeu um Doutorado de Música honorário do Occidental College

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
