[Dsus4/G] [-] [Dm/F6] [-] [Eb] [-] [D]
[C]A word in your ear[D]
From father to son[G]
[Bm]Hear the word that I[Em] say
[C]I fought with you[D]
Fought on your side[G]
[Bm]Long before you were[E] born
[G]Joyful the sound
The [C]word goes around
From f[Am]ather to son to s[D7]on
[C]And the voice is so clear[D]
Time after time it keeps[G]
Calling you c[Bm]alling you [Em]on
[C]Don't destroy what you see[D]
Your country to be
Just keep b[G]uilding on the g[Bm]round
That's been [E]won
[G]Kings will be crowned
The w[C]ord goes around
From f[Am]ather to son to [D7]son
[Dsus4/G] [-] [Dm/F6] [-] [Eb] [-] [D]
Won't you hear us sing[F]
Our family song?
[Ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba] [ba]
Now we hand it [Ab]on[E]
But I've heard it all before[D][-][A]
[E]Take this letter that I give you[D][-][A]
[E]Take it sonny hold it high[A]
[E]You won't understand a word that's in it[D]
But [A]you'll [E]write it all again before you d[D]ie

A word in your ear
From father to son
Funny you don't hear
A single word that I say
But my letter to you
Will stay by your side
Thru' the years
Till the loneliness is gone
[G]Sing if you will[C]
But [G]the [D]air you [Em]breathe
I [Asus4]live to [A7]give you[C]
Father to son [Am]father to
Father to father to [G]son
[G]Joyful the sound
[Cmaj7]Word goes around
[Am]Father to son to s[G]on
Kings will be crowned
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Joyful the sound
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Kings will be crowned
Word goes around
Father to son to son
