Capo 2

[A]

[A]First thing I re[E]member 
was [F#m]asking papa [Dm]why
For [A]there were many [F]things 
I didn't [A]know
And daddy always [E]smiled 
and [F#m]took me by the [D]hand
Saying [A]someday 
[E]you'll under[A]stand

Well I'm [E]here to tell you now 
each and [A]every mothers son
That you [E]better learn it fast 
you [A]better learn it young
Cause [Bm]someday[D] 
never c[A]omes

Well [A]time and tears [E]went by 
and [F#m]I collected [Dm]dust
For [A]there were many [F]things 
I didn't [A]know
When daddy went a[E]way 
he said [F#m]try to be a [D]man
And [A]someday 
[E]you'll under[A]stand

Well I'm [E]here to tell you now 
each and [A]every mothers son
That you [E]better learn it fast 
you [A]better learn it young
Cause [Bm]someday 
[D]never [A]comes

And [A]then one day in [E]April 
I [F#m]wasn't even [Dm]there
For [A]there were many [F]things 
I didn't [A]know
A son was [E]born to me 
[F#m]Mama held his [D]hand
Sayin [A]someday 
[E]you'll under[A]stand

Well I'm [E]here to tell you now 
each and [A]every mothers son
That you [E]better learn it fast 
you [A]better learn it young
Cause [Bm]someday 
[D]never c[A]omes
Oooh [Bm]someday 
[D]never [A]comes[F]

[Bb]Think it was Sep[F]tember 
the [Gm]year I went a[Ebm]way
For [Bb]there were many [Gb]things 
I didn't [Bb]know
And I still see him [F]standing 
[Gm]tryin to be a [Eb]man
I said [Bb]someday 
[F]you'll under[Bb]stand

Well I'm [F]here to tell you now 
each and [Bb]every mothers son
That you [F]better learn it fast 
you [Bb]better learn it young
Cause [Cm]someday 
[Eb*]never [Bb]comes
Oooh [Cm]someday 
[Eb*]never [Bb]comes
