F           D         Bb 
Here are the books of look; 
    Am           Gm       Eb 
You need them to open the seed 
                           F      G 
To see what goes on in the world 
F          D 
Here in my mind 
Bb                 Am7 
Catch the wind and hold on tight 
Gm7            Eb 
To what we'll find 
                             F     G 
And hear what goes on in the world 


F               D 
Here is all you see 
Bb            Am           Gm7 
Everything is made for you from me 
           G 
If there's anything you'd like to say 
                          C 
that could help me in any way 
Dm 
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along 
Em              G 
Help me on that day 
         G                                   Am 
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you 
         Dm 
Is there anything you think you should know 
         F                 Am  Dm7 
Is there anything before I go?

 Dear Father,  I'm hungry, I'm cold

Dear Father,  I don't think I can see 
F                                          Bb 
I'm not feeling good like I think I should 



F                D    Bb                Am 
They're on their own, needing a face, a place, 
Gm7              Eb 
Hope and mind, a home 
                           F      G 
To see what goes on in the world 
F               D 
They're who you need 
Bb           Am7               Gm7      Eb 
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed 
                        F     G 
We need to go on in the world 



F               D 
 Here is all you see 
Bb            Am           Gm7 
Everything is made for you from me. 
           G 
If there's any complication 
                                  C 
that you'd like to talk over with me about 
                 Dm 
'Cause I've been waiting for so long 

for you to come along 
Em 
We can work it all out 
         G 
When you take over all the things 
           Am7 
heaven has made for you 
         Dm7 
Is there anything you think you should know 
         F                 Dm7    G 
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father,  You must be putting me on

Dear Father, 'Cause most of their minds are gone 
G    C 
Dear Father, They run on T'understand me 
F                                   Bb
