Some other uploaded versions of this song had some weird, unresolved formatting issues and were difficult to
read. Also, the only other "chords" version was a special acoustic arrangement in a different key. This is
really a simple song and probably the most difficult part is getting over the "wordiness" of it. Enjoy!

D                F#
  Father of mine    tell me where have you been
G                              E

G                               E
  It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
D                               F#
  Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
