Phil Collins – Were Sons Of Our Fathers (Guitar)

     G        D    G       D
When I grow up to be a man

         G               D     G     D
Like my father was when I was young

   G             D     G             D
I hope I can make him so proud of me

  G                   D      G   D
Proud enough to call me his son

G                       D    C
 What makes these people so different now

G                             C      D
 What makes these times so strange?

G                   D       C
 Seems most people got most everything they need

G                       C
 How come we see this change

D                               Em    Am
 Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control

D                      Em            Am
 Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul

G             C               D           G   C
 When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

G                 D        C
 When I was a boy, did we have more respect?

      G                     D       C
This world seemed a nicer place to be

     G                    D     C
But time slowly passes and one day you look around

     G              D        C
You hardly recognize what you see

D                               Em    Am
 Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control

D                      Em            Am
 Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul

G                 C               D           G   C
 Now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

                        Dm7   C
They're beyond our control

Bm                      E
 We're all sons of our fathers

Bm                    E
 Sometimes I feel like mine

F#m                          C#m
 And I can hear him say, the things I say

            E                    D
Seems all things come around in time

G                               C         D
 Why these things happen we'll never know

        G                        C
Guess that was then and this is now

G                      C
 We always knew that change was gonna come

       G                       C
But I want to go back, please tell me how

D                               Em    Am
 Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control

D                      Em            Am
 Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul

G             C               D           G   C
 When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

                        Dm7   C   G
They're beyond our control

       Am7              Dm7   C
Oh, beyond our control
