C		   D
A word in your ear

                   G
From father to son

Bm                  Em
Hear the word that I say

C                 D
I fought with you

		    G
Fought on your side

Bm                  E
Long before you were born

G  
Joyful the sound

    C
The word goes around

      Am               D7
From father to son to son

C                          D
And the voice is so clear

                         G
Time after time it keeps

             Bm         Em
Calling you calling you on

C                          D
Don't destroy what you see

Your country to be

           G               Bm
Just keep building on the ground

            E
That's been won

G
Kings will be crowned

     C
The word goes around

      Am              D7
From father to son to son

                       F
Won't you hear us sing

Our family song?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

               Ab   E
Now we hand it on

                             D — A
But I've heard it all before

E                                D — A
Take this letter that I give you

E                                A
Take it sonny hold it high

E                                        D
You won't understand a word that's in it

    A      E                              D 
But you'll write it all again before you die

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                C
Sing if you will

    G   D       Em
But the air you breathe
