Dear Ol' Dad

Blind Melon

B5
Come now and listen babe
D5                 A5
I gotta reason why I behave
B5
Like a child with a light in eyes
         D5               E5    F#5
Running naked on a cold winter night

B5
Like a pigeon that's spreadin' his wings
   D5           A5
to fly away to better things
B5
Like a hammer that has made a dent
   D5                   E5         F#mi G
in every little single cent you’ve spent

            B  G
Said oh God you’ve got to help me a little bit
 B
you’ve got to have a relief file for me

B5
Now I know I’m always right, that’s a
D5                       A5
thought that never even crossed my mind
B5
Don’t touch me there I’ve gotta be pure
     D5                  E5        F#mi
So smack that hand, and read this verse

B5                       D5        A5
So I wrecked your life, what the heck
   B5                   D5       E5  F#5  Bmi  G
My new found faith will pay by check
E  G   Bmi                     G  A
This life’s took a toll on my soul
Bmi  G         E  G         Bmi
Oh_______yeah________ this life's took a toll on my soul
