Patty Griffin – Faithful Son (Ukulele)

 Am
 Oh my god, I cry in fear

     F
 Afraid you have forgot me here

     C
 Afraid you have forgotten one

        F              Am            F
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

    Am
 I went to work, I worked all day

          F
 When I wanted to run, I stayed

              C
 I kept the promises I made

              F         Am
 I kept the promises I made

 Am
 Little children came and grew

  F
 Moved away and never knew

  C
 Who I was or who I am

             F              Am
 Well, they never knew this lonely man

            F              C
 And those mornings came stiff with rain

             C                F
 I thought the sun would never shine again

         F                    C
 With the sleeves of my old raincoat 

                   C              F
 Stained with the salt of my own tears

        F           C
 And I never would tell you then

     C            F
 So I never will tell you now

           F                  C
 All the things that break an old man down

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

 Am
 Oh my god, I cry in fear

     F
 Afraid you have forgot me here

     C
 Afraid you have forgotten one

        F              
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

         C
 Who's seen the loneliest of days

       F
 And fought the dirtiest of ways

           C
 With the man inside who would have run away

            F         Am
 From the promises I made
