A FATHER'S LOVE
By Bill Crockett
from the CD The Basic Stuff
Capo 3rd Fret

C                                 Em7    Am       Am/G
When the curtain calls the evening to an ending
          Dm            Dm/C              Bb  F/A  G/F
when the music and the rhymes are packed away
    Em      Am         Em7  F   G
and you are gone and night has come
          C                     Em7      Am     Am/G
when the morning calls us back into the city
        Dm          Dm/C          Bb      F/A   G
and the magic of tonight has dissappeared
G/F        C/E     F   C/G  G7   C
there will always be a father's love

C                        Em7           Am       Am/G
when the circle of our love has to be broken
          Dm            Dm/C              Bb  F/A  G/F
and the roses that we gave have turned to grey
    Em     Am  Em7  F   G
and you and I say good-bye
          C                     Em7      Am     Am/G
if the leaving sinks your heart into December
        Dm          Dm/C          Bb      F/A   G
and tommorow finds you lonely and afraid
G/F        C/E     F   C/G  G7   C      Gx4
there will always be a father's love.

Am               Am       F          C/e
Don't fear the darkness around you now
     Am             D/F#      G    G/F
and don't wish the nighttime away
              C/E          F       C/G    G
'cause it is there you'll find a father
G/F     C/E  F      C/G     G
if you ever need a father
G/F          C/E  F      C/G  G   F
there will always be a father's love

G/B   C/E   F/A   C/G   G7sus   G7   C
