Patty Griffin – Faithful Son (Guitar)

 Em
 Oh my god, I cry in fear

     C
 Afraid you have forgot me here

     D
 Afraid you have forgotten one

        C              Em            C
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

    Em
 I went to work, I worked all day

          C
 When I wanted to run, I stayed

              D
 I kept the promises I made

              C         Em
 I kept the promises I made

 Em
 Little children came and grew

  C
 Moved away and never knew

  D
 Who I was or who I am

             C              Em
 Well, they never knew this lonely man

            C              G
 And those mornings came stiff with rain

             D                C
 I thought the sun would never shine again

         C                    G
 With the sleeves of my old raincoat 

                   D              C
 Stained with the salt of my own tears

        C           G
 And I never would tell you then

     D            C
 So I never will tell you now

           C                  G
 All the things that break an old man down

      D                C
 The real truth is, I don't know how

 Em
 Oh my god, I cry in fear

     C
 Afraid you have forgot me here

     D
 Afraid you have forgotten one

        C              
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

         D
 Who's seen the loneliest of days

       C
 And fought the dirtiest of ways

           D
 With the man inside who would have run away

            C         Em
 From the promises I made
