Melanie Safka - My Father
## NOTE: The last verse and Outro are all on the chord G ##
INTRO: G C G C G
My father always promised us
C G We would live in France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
C D Em And I would learn to dance A We lived in Ohio then D Dm And he worked in the mines G On his dreams, like boats, we knew C Bb G We would sail in time___
All my sisters soon were gone
C G To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
C D Em The lilacs and the man A D I stayed behind the youngest Dm And only danced alone G The colours of my father's dreams C Bb G Faded without a sound
And now I live in Paris
C G And my children dance and dream
Hearing the story of a miner's life
C D Em In words they've never seen A I sailed my memories of old D Dm Like boats across the Seine G And I watched the Paris sun C Bb G Set in my father's eyes again
My father always promised us
We would live in France
We'd go sailing on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
