Intro 
Eb Bb/D C 
G# Bb C 


Dm7                     C/E 
  They say that you can choose your friends 
         F 
But you can't choose your family 
Dm7                C/E             F              G7sus  G7 
  And it's a lucky man who ends up in good company 
     Dm7               C/E 
I've done my share of looking back 
   F                G 
Regret's my middle name 
        Dm7       C/E    F 
But the time goes by so fast 
         Dm7       C/E       F 
You turn around, tomorrow's passed 
        Dm7                C/E          G7sus  G7 
And the ones you love will never be the same 

 
                 C 
So why don't you honor your father 
Am 
Honor your mother 
F                    G 
Honor yourself above all? 
C                    Am 
Honor the gifts you bring one another 
F                         G 
Each time you rise or you fall 
           C   Am  F  C 
Honor them all 



Dm7                     C/E 
   There's not a family on this earth 
         F 
Doesn't sling a little mud 
Dm7                  C/E 
   Hands get weary, hearts get hurt 
   F                    G 
We bow to the flesh and blood 
    Dm7            C/E 
Oh, people can be cruel sometimes 
     F               G 
It leaves a lasting scar 
             Dm7    C/E     F 
But when you put it to the test 
             Dm7         C/E        F 
You usually find they've done their best 
       Dm7             C/E 
And as bad as that may be 
                F            G7sus  G7 
It's turned you into who you are 


                 C 
So why don't you honor your father 
Am 
Honor your mother 
F                    G 
Honor yourself above all? 
C                    Am 
Honor the gifts you bring one another 
F                         G 
Each time you rise or you fall 
           Eb  Bb/D  C 
Honor them all 
           G#  Bb  C 
Honor them all 

 
  C/G                 C/A 
I have three nephews, all my children 
Bb         C/G 
In my memories 
           Dm7       C/E      F 
If there's one thing I would ask 
               Dm7   C/E      F 
It's that they keep alive the past 
       Dm7            C/E              G7sus  G7 
So the future doesn't have to end with me 


                 C

F                           G 
Each time they rise or they fall 
C 
Honor their father 
Am 
Honor their mother 
F                      G 
Honor themselves above all 
C                     Am 
Honor the gifts they bring one another 
F                           G 
Each time they rise or they fall
