My Son

	  		


verse 1: 
D              A                         Bm   A         C           G          D 
When Billy had just turned eight, he was all alone in a boat by his house on a lake 
                    A                      Bm      A             C  G 
He laid back and he closed his eyes and he drifted off to sleep 
   G           A        Bm       G          G          A       Bm    G 
He woke to the sound of crashing waves, His boat was a million miles away 
                 A            Bm       F                 C 
And just when he thought he'd seen the end, He heard his fathers voice again, saying 


F    C       Dm              Bb      F     C 
Son, take my hand, rest your feet on solid land 
         Am                        Dm       
Keep your eyes laid on me, don't be swayed by the sea 
    Bb     F        C 
And I will lead you home (repeat) 

verse 2: (same chords as verse 1) 
You know that i live for you 
But sometimes i get caught up in the storm and i fall 
you know when i'm in that boat 
and the world come seeping in 
sometimes i start sinking in the sea 
sometimes i'm way too deep for thee 
sometimes when i'm crying out for fear 
i hear you whisper in my ear  

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge 

Bb              F        C       Bb      F  C 
I know when you speak to me that I can believe 
Bb          F        C         Dm    C         Bb    D 
I know if I trust in you I can walk across the sea 


G        D       Em              C       G     D 
Son just take my hand, rest your feet on solid land 
          Bm                        Em               
Keep your eyes laid on me, don't be swayed by the sea 
    C      G        D 
And I will lead you home (3x)
