Song: Michael’s Song
Artist: Mason Jennings
Tuning: Half Step Down
Another tab from Mason's new album, The Flood. The whole album is amazing and I will try
to tab through it when I find the time... Here is one of the most simple on the album
though. No complicated picking or anything, just simple chord strumming patterns. Listen
to the song to help figure it out! Please comment with any suggestions.

Up in the Midwest in cold Minnesota
E A B
Eighteen years from here if you go by the roads
E A B
Lived a man from Columbus, Ohio
E A B
He’s been my father since a long time ago, he said

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E B
I’ll stay behind you till the day I die
E A B
And I remember days and days and days spent in Harmony
E A B
Christmas day spent in white Oak Park
E A B
All those brown bags of a dollar’s worth of candy
E A B
I saw from Rapp’s seat than Rapp ever saw, he said
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine

E A B
I haven’t seen you much since I was twelve years old
E A B
I don’t suppose I’ll see you much on the rest of the road
E A B
And you should know that I miss you often
E A B
I miss your lap as much as you miss your mother’s, and
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E B
I’ll stay behind you till the day I die
E A B
I wonder if you picture me as Sygne’s “Riders To The Sea”
E A B
Sometimes you wonder if I come out alive
E A B
Well, up jumped dingo he was grinning like whatever
E A B
I may stray far but I’ll be back by five, he said
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E A
I’ll stay behind you son of mine
E
I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you
E B
I’ll stay behind you till the day I die
