Your Dad Did - John Hiatt

        A                                      D/A
Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee up
                         A       D/A
Right through the kitchen floor
       A
And you feel like hell, so you might as well
   D/A                         A            D/A
Get out and sell your smart ass door-to-door
       D      D/C#      D/B        D/A  [A     Asus4  A]
And the missus wears her robe slightly undone
       D        D/C#      D/B     D/A     [A  Asus4  A]
As your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son
A               E   E!                         A          D/A A  D/A
And you keep it hid - just like your dad did   your dad did 


       A            
So you go to work just to watch some jerk
     D/A                              A            D/A
Pick up the perks you were in line to get
        A
And the guy that hired you just got fired
     D/A                                      A            D/A
Your job's expired - they just ain't told you yet

       D      D/C#  D/B       D/A     [A  Asus4  A]
So you go and buy a brand new set of wheels
       D      D/C#  D/B       D/A     [A  Asus4  A]
Just to show your family just how great you feel
A              E     E!                        A          D/A A  D/A
Acting like a kid -    just like your dad did  your dad did 

[BRDGE]
[F#m             E]       [D       A]
  And you're a chip off the old block
[F#m            E]       [D      A]
  Why does it come as such a shock
[F#m         E]       [D         A]
  That every road up which you walk
       D           E
  Your dad already did?

      [F#m      E]     [D        A]
  Yeah you've seen the old man's ghost
  [F#m E]            [D      A   ]
  Come back as  chip beef on toast
      [F#m    E]           [D           A]
  Now if you don't get your slice of the roast
  D                      E      E!                             A           D/A A  D/A
  You're gonna flip your lid    -       just like your dad did your dad did 

[VERSE]
        A
Well the day was long, now supper's on
        D                                         A   D/A
And the thrill is gone, but something's taking place
         A
Yeah the food is cold and your wife feels old
    D                                          A   D/A
But all hands folded as your two year old says grace
          D        D/C#     D/B         D/A    [A  Asus4  A]  
She says "Help the starving children to get well
     D     D/C#     D/B      D/A     [A  Asus4  A] 
But let my brother's hamster burn in hell" 
A                      E    E!                          A  D/A      A  D/A
You love your wife and kids -  just like your dad did  your dad did 

[OUTRO Fade Repeat]
A                        D/A A  D/A
Just like your dad did.
