New Model Army - Inheritance ---------------------------- Acoustic version taken from various Justin Sullivan&Friends gigs Tabbed by Bjoern Ahrens (nma-tabs@gmx.de) Strum the chords in a cut-off Reggae style, i.e. on 2 and 4. The Chords: ----------- [B5] (799xxx) [D5] (101212xxx) ========================= [B5] [B5] Mother, Father, I'm doing OK On the other side of the country, far away And though I know the things that you want to hear me say Sometimes these things are hard Mother, Father, I am your son Right down to the long thin pointed face And this muddled up and twisted tongue And now I find that I'm doing All those things you would have done Sometimes these things are hard [D5] So do I thank you? Do I curse you? These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind [B5] What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine [D5] a couple of times [B5] a couple of times [B5] Mother, Father, all those battles that have been And the long, long silences that lay in between Please don't try to tell me all those were in vain Sometimes these things are hard We line up at the wedding in rows of deep set eyes In our finest formal dresses and proper suits and ties Like a family of Munsters in a really bad disguise [D5] So do I thank you? Do I curse you? These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind {B5] What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine [D5] a couple fo times [B5]
