Father Figure

INTRO: 
N.C. 

 
Em      Bm                  C               G 
 When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold 
Em         Bm            C 
 Pulled up to you in the Jag 
            G 
Turned your rags into gold 
Em     Bm        C        G 
 The winding road leads to the chateau 
Em      Bm           C       G 
 “You remind me of a younger me” 
D 
I saw potential… 

 
G 
 I’ll be your father figure 
Bm 
 I drink that brown liquor 
C                          Am 
 I can make deals with the devil 
           D 
because my dick’s bigger 
G 
 This love is pure profit 
Bm 
 Just step into my office 
C                         Am 
 I dry your tears with my sleeve 
D             G 
Leave it with me 
              Bm 
I protect the family 
              C 
Leave it with me 
              C 
I protect the family 

 
Em         Bm              C            G 
 I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain 
Em           Bm              C                G 
 Said, “They want to see you rise, they don’t want you to reign” 
Em       Bm      C          G 
 I showed you all the tricks of the trade 
Em     Bm              C    G 
 All I ask for is your loyalty… 
D 
My dear protege 



G 
 I’ll be your father figure 
Bm 
 I drink that brown liquor 
C                          Am 
 I can make deals with the devil 
           D 
because my dick’s bigger 
G 
 This love is pure profit 
Bm 
 Just step into my office 
C                              Am 
 They’ll know your name in the streets 
D             G 
Leave it with me 
              Bm 
I protect the family 


Am D               G   C 
 I saw a change in you 
         Am                   D            Bm        Em 
 My dear boy… They don’t make loyalty like they used to 
Am                         D                                 G 
 Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition on foolish decisions 
                         C 
 which led its misguided visions 
         Am 
 Then to fulfil your dreams… 
            B7 
 You had to get rid of me (I protect the family) 

 
G 
 I was your father figure 
Bm 
 We drank that brown liquor 
C                          Am 
 You made a deal with this devil 
             D 
Turns out my dick’s bigger 
G 
 You want a fight, you found it 
Bm 
 I got the place surrounded 
C                            Am 
 You’ll be sleeping with the fishes 
  N.C. 
before you know you’re drowning 


OUTRO: 
A 
 Whose portrait’s on the mantle? 
C#m 
 Who covered up your scandals? 
D                        Bm 
 Mistake my kindness for weakness 
              E 
And find your card cancelled 
A 
 I was your father figure 
C#m 
 You pulled the wrong trigger 
D                       Bm 
 This empire belongs to me 
E             A 
Leave it with me 
              C#m 
I protect the family 
              C 
Leave it with me 
              Bm 
I protect the family 
E             A 
Leave it with me 


OUTRO: 
          C#m                 D 
“You know, you remind me of a younger me” 
  Bm    E 
I saw potential…
