[Intro]
 
Am   Fmaj7   C   G   x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                Fmaj7     C                 G
I have called you children, I have called you son,
Am               Fmaj7       C            G
What is there to answer when I’m the only one?
Am               Fmaj7     C                G
Morning comes in paradise, morning comes in light,
Am           Fmaj7         C      G
Still I must obey, still I must invite.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Am          Fmaj7           C           G
If there’s anything to say, if there’s anything to do,
           Am        Fmaj7        C            G
If there’s any other way, I’ll do anything for you.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am              Fmaj7        C                G
I was dressed embarrassment, I was dressed in wine,
Am           Fmaj7      C                  G
If you had a part of me will you take your time?
Am        Fmaj7      C         G
Even if I come back, even if I die,
Am            Fmaj7     C        G
Is there some idea to replace my life?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Am          Fmaj7         C                 G
Like a father to impress, like a mother’s mourning dress,
       Am          Fmaj7         C            G
If you ever make a mess, I’ll do anything for you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                Fmaj7     C                 G
I have called you preacher, I have called you son,
Am            Fmaj7     C              G
If you have a father or if you haven’t one.
 
 
[Outro]
 
        Am           Fmaj7
I’ll do anything for you,
        C            G
I’ll do anything for you,
        Am           Fmaj7
I’ll do anything for you,
        C            G
I’ll do anything for you.
 
        Am           Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
        C            G
I did everything for you,
        Am           Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
        C            G
I did everything for you.
 
        Am           Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
        C            G
I did everything for you,
        Am           Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
        C            G
I did everything for you.

Thanks for this tab! Hadn't realized so many Sufjan songs were so easy. I play this on the fifth fret to keep myself from bar chords lol
