[Intro]

C F Am G

[Verse 1]

from the stone behind the valley

and the rain upon the creeps

can you hear me play my guitar

even if you know is me

and i woke up with this feeling

that the sun is getting low

you're a man with no ambitions

fiveteen years behind a wall

[Chorus]

and now the ringing bell

it's a creepy sound

can I feel my life

with the love I found

F C

can we spend some time together

Am Em

'till the day that you became

F G

till the day I find your face up in the wall

[Verse 2]

and now I might know the feelings

of the love that I have grow

you were right, I'll be like you

I was wrong to leave my home

[Chorus]

and now the ringing bell

it's a creepy sound

can I feel my life

with the love I found

F C

can we spend some time together

Am Em

'till the day that you became

F G

till the day I find your face up in the wall

[Bridge]

C F Am G

[Chorus]

and i woke up with this feeling

that the sun is getting low

you're a man with no ambitions

G C

but you're my father after all (full stop)

[Outro]

mmm

you're my father after all

and you're my father

you're my father

G C

my father after all
