Chords

It's actually originally tabbed by an Unregistered person, but I found that his chords seemed to sound a bit funny and I made some changes to it that seemed to sound fine. There's a part missing near the end, but generally it works fine to my ears
C                          Am
The bar closes early on the Sabbath day

  F                        G
So me and my kid we hit the park to play

         C                          Am

    F                          G
This mother fucking life is the best he's had

           C                       Am
I said I've been there sonny and it ain't that bad

         F                             G
I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad
Chorus:

So long ago and even though I tried

                   C                   G                   F
I couldn't make him see the life he had cast in front of me

And even though I cried I couldn't make him be the very thing I needed
(Same chord progression of
C  Am  F  G)
His mother'd make a scene when I come home late
She look like she's dying but she's twenty eight I never loved that whore I never will no more Except for a month back in '84 The jam was playing and my heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the window sill Chorus: (Chord progression of
F  Am  C  G)
So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man 
she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed And even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed (This is the part I've not figured out) Could she be the very thing I needed? Could she be the very thing the very thing
C                           G
Push yourself away from your one best friend

Am                              F

Who will? Who will?
