Rick Springfield - Like Father Like Son Chords

[Verse]
 
Fm
He was raised in the English way
          Db                                Ab
His daddy taught him respect, he taught him how to pray
Fm
They sent him off to boarding school
          Db                                Ab
Where he learned how to live by someone else's rule
Fm
And he went to confession he went to confession
Db                        Eb
Holy Father wash my sins away
Fm
He went to confession he went to confession
Db                         Eb
Mother Mary take the pain away
Bbm     Ab/C         Db      Eb
He read letters from home at night in his bed
Bbm          Ab/C           Db       C
And got this uneasy feeling when his father said
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fm                  Db
Fear of God and the feel of the rod
             Eb
Will raise a good boy
Fm                      Db
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
             Eb
Will raise a good boy
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Fm
He bought his daddy's car and he learned to drive
         Db                      Ab
And when he left school he got a nine to five
Fm
He met the girl and he got his spouse
         Db                     Ab
And they had the child and they got the house
Fm
And he went to confession he went to confession
Db                        Eb
Holy Father wash my sins away
Fm
He went to confession he went to confession
Db                         Eb
Mother Mary take the pain away
Bbm          Ab/C       Db               Eb
He loved his son and he helped him build walls and fronts
Bbm          Ab/C       Db               C
He knew he'd heard it before someone had said it once
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Fm                  Db
Fear of God and the feel of the rod
             Eb
Will raise a good boy
Fm                      Db
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
             Eb
Will raise a good boy
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Fm
He raised his son in the English way
       Db                     Ab
And he taught him respect, he taught him how to pray
Fm
He sent him off to boarding school
         Db                     Ab
Where he learned how to live by someone else's rules
Fm
And he went to confession he went to confession
Db                        Eb
Holy Father wash my sins away
Fm
He went to confession he went to confession
Db                         Eb
Mother Mary take the pain away
Bbm        Ab/C           Db          Eb
It must be something much deeper than fear or pain
Bbm     Ab/C           Db               C
Another child learns a pattern he won't break the chain

The fear of God and the feel of the rod
             Eb          F
Will raise the next boy
