The Day My Father Died Cifras

[Intro]
E  G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
 
[Verse 1]
G#m   F#          B      D#m    E
I was born on the day my father died
C#m         G#m
He loved me so
G#m      F#           B      D#m        E
Heaven's bells on the day he closed his eyes
C#m       G#m
Down in a hole
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
But I can hear him singing
E
"Oh, oh, oh, oh"
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m       B             F#            G#m
I want to show you that life comes in circles
E         B        F#
I want to show you life
C#m            B           F#             G#m
Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money
    E          B          F#
And let no one steal your shine
    N.C.
The day my father died
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#m   F#            B      D#m    E
I was scared on the day my mother cried
C#m         G#m
She held me close
G#m        F#            B        D#m      E
She lost a man who could ease her troublеd mind
C#m         G#m
She lost it all
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
And I remembеr singing
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m       B             F#            G#m
I want to show you that life comes in circles
E         B        F#
I want to show you life
C#m           B           F#          G#m
Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry
   E              B       F#
So put your sweet hand in mine
    N.C.          E
The day my father died
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  E
The day my father died
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
 
[Bridge]
G#m      F#            B         D#m   E
"Put 'em down, put 'em down," my lover sighed
C#m          G#m
She loves me so
G#m     F#         B          D#m             E
Letting go doesn't mean he'll ever leave your side
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m       B             F#            G#m
I want to show you that life comes in circles
E         B        F#
I want to show you life
C#m           B            F#           G#m
Care for your sister, your son and your daughter
     E           B       F#
Your mother will heal in time
C#m     B                F#           G#m
No self-destruction will fill up your heart
        E            B    F#
And the void that he left behind
    N.C.          E
The day my father died
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  E
The day my father died
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  E
The day my father died
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  E
The day my father died
   G#m       F#      B         E       G#m     F#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
G#m
