Our Fathers Sons Acoustic Live Chords

(ver. 1)
Brian Fallon
[Intro]
C        E        Am        Fmaj7        Cmaj9(no 3rd)

[Verse 1]
        C
Help me sing
                                    E
All you weary strangers, raise your voice
                                         Am
In this chain-gang chorus in our younger days

My brothers, we were naive sailors
    Fmaj7             Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
Oh, the storms we've all endured

[Verse 2]
        C
Oh, the road
                                             E
And all you who sing the praises of dust and bones
                                             Am
And places that she takes us, the choice was ours

We wanted much more than our fathers
          Fmaj7                     Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
While our mothers said their prayers

[Chorus 1]
                    C
And we're moving on up

To the east side
       E                          Am
And we finally got a piece of the pie
             Fmaj7        Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
Yeah, of the pie

[Verse 3]
              C
Now your baby doll
                                           E
All you women of the travelers, your empty arms
                                            Am
Your patient hearts and waiting, bless your hearts

And your never-ending patience
        Fmaj7                  Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
I could not go on without you

[Verse 4]
                  C
And we're all the same
                                                     E
All the blue and bright white collars, we're all the same
                                           Am
All our troubles and our sorrows, but underneath

It's just blood and bone and mixture
          Fmaj7                     Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
Though we dance to different songs

[Chorus 2]
                    C
Like your momma's alright

And your daddy's alright
         E                          Am
And they just seem a little bit weird
        Fmaj7        Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
Oh, surrender

[Verse 5]
      C
Every man
                                      E
Every woman with a burden, raise your hands
                                               Am
Raise 'em up to the firmament, let's see those hands
                                              Fmaj7        Cmaj9 (no 3rd)
Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands

[Outro]
                    C
We are our fathers' sons
