No Son of Mine
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Em - C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C
Verses:
Em C
Well the key to my survival
D Bsus4
Was never in much doubt
Em D
The question was how I could keep sane
Bm C
Trying to find a way out
Em C
Things were never easy for me
D Bsus4
Peace of mind was hard to find
D A
And I needed a place where I could hide
C G
Somewhere I could call mine
Em C
I didn't think much about it
D Bsus4
Til it started happening all the time
Em D
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Bm C
Of what might happen that night
Em C
I couldn't stand to hear the
D
Crying of my mother
Bsus4
And I remember when
D
I swore that, that would be the
A
Last they'd see of me
C G
And I never went home again
Bridge:
D D/E
They say the time is a healer
D D/E
And now my wounds are not the same
D D/E
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
D D/E
I had to hear what he'd say
C/G G
He sat me down to talk to me
D/A C/A
He looked me straight in the eyes
Chorus:
He said:
D/G D/C D/Bm D/C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D C/D G/D C/D
You're no son, you're no son of mine
G D/G C/G
You walked out, you left us behind
G D/G C/G D/G
And you're no son, no son of mine
G - D/G - C/G(high C)- G
D/G C/G D/G
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
Em7 - D/E - C/D(High C)- D
C D/C C(High C) D/C (High D)
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
Em7 C D
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D
But where should I go,
C
And what should I do
Em7 C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D C Em
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C
Verses:
Em C
Well the years they passed so slowly
D Bsus4
I thought about him everyday
Em D
What would I do, if we passed on the street
B C
Would I keep running away
Em C
In and out of hiding places
D Bsus4
Soon I'd have to face the facts
D A
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
C G
And that would mean going back
Bridge:
D/E E
They say the time is a healer
D/E E
And now my wounds are not the same
D/E E
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
D/E E
I had to hear what he'd say
C/G G
He sat me down to talk to me
D/A C/A
He looked me straight in the eyes
Chorus:
He said:
D/G D/C D/Bm D/C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D C/D G/D C/D
You're no son, you're no son of mine
G D/G C/G
You walked out, you left us behind
G D/G C/G D/G
And you're no son, no son of mine
G - D/G - C/G(high C)- G
D/G C/G D/G
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
Em7 - D/E - C/D(High C)- D
C D/C C(High C) D/C (High D)
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
Em7 C D
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D
But where should I go,
C
And what should I do
Em7 C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D C Em
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
C D
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh
Bsus4 Em C D
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah
Bsus4 Em C D Bsus4
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh..
