My Father's Son
Written by: Dan Colehour & Scooter Carusoe
As it appears on the Montgomery Gentry album "Carrying On." 2001 Sony
Music Entertainment Inc.   The follow-up album to "Tattoos and Scars"

Intro  Em  C/G  D     Em  C/G  D

{C/G denotes open C-Chord with a G-root...regular C works very well!}

Em        C
Old white washed barn doors
G           D
Rain rusted tin
Em                          C
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans
G             D
Hangin' in the wind
                C/G            Em       D
There's never the time for these bones to mend
Em             C
Up before the sun dries
G               D
The frost on my fields
Em           C
I've got this diesel burnin'
G                 D
Turnin' these four wheels
          C/G   Em  D
Across this land I been handed down
        C/G       Em            D
I feel my roots run deep in this ground

Chorus:
G         D
So stand me up... tall in this seat
C           Em               D
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
G             D
And turn this earth over one more time
C         G(Em)          D
Some say this way of life is done
C/G                     Em
But not for my father's son

Em         C
Three Generations
G            D
Before I ever came
Em               C
Cut back these timbers
   G                 D
And bet their lives on grain
            C/G      Em            D
And I want to see just once before I die
       C/G            Em             D
Us doin' more than just barely getting by

Chorus
Solo CGDCGD
Em                    C
Now and then I walk my fence
G              D
Down old county road
Em                   C
And watch the cars go rushin' by
G                 D
And disappear like ghosts
            C/G           Em    D
Out where the sky meets the amber waves
         C/G          Em       D
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made

Chorus & Fade
