[Intro]

[Verse 1]
F           D         Bb
Here are the books of look;
    Am           Gm       Eb
You need them to open the seed
                           F      G
To see what goes on in the world
F          D
Here in my mind
Bb                 Am7
Catch the wind and hold on tight
Gm7            Eb
To what we'll find
                             F     G
And hear what goes on in the world
 
[Pre-chorus]
F               D
Here is all you see
Bb            Am           Gm7
Everything is made for you from me
           G
If there's anything you'd like to say
                          C
that could help me in any way
Dm
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Em              G
Help me on that day
         G                                   Am
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
         Dm
Is there anything you think you should know
         F                 Am  Dm7
Is there anything before I go?
 
 
[Chorus]
G    C
 Dear Father,  I'm hungry, I'm cold
G    C
 Dear Father,  Feeling terribly old
G    C
Dear Father,  I don't think I can see
F                                          Bb
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                D    Bb                Am
They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Gm7              Eb
Hope and mind, a home
                           F      G
To see what goes on in the world
F               D
They're who you need
Bb           Am7               Gm7      Eb
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
                        F     G
We need to go on in the world
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
F               D
 Here is all you see
Bb            Am           Gm7
Everything is made for you from me.
           G
If there's any complication
                                  C
that you'd like to talk over with me about
                 Dm
'Cause I've been waiting for so long
 
for you to come along
Em
We can work it all out
         G
When you take over all the things
           Am7
heaven has made for you
         Dm7
Is there anything you think you should know
         F                 Dm7    G
Is there anything before I go?
 
 
[Chorus]
G    C
Dear Father,  You must be putting me on
G    C
Dear Father, 'Cause most of their minds are gone
G    C
Dear Father, They run on T'understand me
F                                   Bb
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

F
Dear Father, Can I give it a miss
F
Dear Father, 'Cause I'm not ready for this
F
Dear Father, I don't think I can see
    Bb                              Eb     A
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
D
Dear Father, Won't you leave me alone
D
Dear Father, Won't you let me go home
D
Dear Father, I don't think I could see
D
Dear Father, Lord, they'd crucify me
D
Dear Father, I just couldn't do that
D
Dear Father
                                     F
'Cause that's not where it's at now.
