Genesis – No Son Of Mine (Ukulele)

Am               F    
 Well the key to my survival

    C             A
Was never in much doubt

    Am               C
The question was how I could keep sane

A                F
Trying to find a way out

Am                 F
 Things were never easy for me

         C                A
Peace of mind was hard to find

      C                    D
And I needed a place where I could hide

F                      C
Somewhere I could call mine

Am             F
I didn't think much about it

       C                         A
Til it started happening all the time

Am                         C
Soon I was living with the fear everyday

   Em                     F
Of what might happen that night

Am                  F
I couldn't stand to hear the

             C
Crying of my mother

               A
And I remember when

              C     
I swore that, that would be the

            D           
Last they'd see of me

      F               C
And I never went home again

C                       A
 They say the time is a healer

           C                  A
And now my wounds are not the same

C                        A
 I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth

  C                     A
I had to hear what he'd say

F                  C
 He sat me down to talk to me

C                             D
 He looked me straight in the eyes

C/      C              C         F
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

C/      C              C         F
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

C                   F       C
You walked out, you left us behind

C                  F9        C        C      C      F     F
And you're no son, no son of mine

F                                C          Am      F   C
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it

 F                         F     C                       
 And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

Am                    F             C
You're no son, you're no son of mine

                   C
But where should I go,

    F
And what should I do

Am                    F            
You're no son, you're no son of mine

C                             F           Am    
 But I came here for help, oh I came here for you

         Am                   F
Well the years they passed so slowly

C                   Esus4
I thought about him everyday

Am                     C
What would I do, if we passed on the street

A                    F
Would I keep running away

Am                    F
 In and out of hiding places

C                         A
Soon I'd have to face the facts

     C                    D
We'd have to sit down and talk it over

    F                     C
And that would mean going back

C                      A
They say the time is a healer

           C                  A
And now my wounds are not the same

            C            A
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth

  C                     A
I had to hear what he'd say

F                  C
 He sat me down to talk to me

C                             Dm7
 He looked me straight in the eyes

C/      C              C         F
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

C/      C              C         F
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

C                    F       C
 You walked out, you left us behind

C                   F9        C        C      C      F  C
 And you're no son, no son of mine

F                                C          Am        F   C
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it

 F                         F     C                       
 And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

Am                     F             C
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

                   C
But where should I go,

    F
And what should I do

Am                     F            
 You're no son, you're no son of mine

C                             F           Am    
 But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you

Am                    F                C   
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh

Esus4              Am                F                C
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah

             Esus4                   Am           F          C         Esus4
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
