Verse 1
G 
I remember it well,
I was feeling so blue
So I said to my dad,
C 
what's your boy gonna do?
Then he told me,
G 
he looked me straight in the eye
He said this world is a sham,
you have to do what you can
It's always spinning around,
it's always dragging us down
C 
You gotta work hard,
G 
and keep your head high
Bm 
It's up,   and it's down
Am 
Bm 
But for once in your life
Am 
G 
you gotta let it go
D

Oh, my daddy was an engineer

C 
He said, son, life can be so unfair

G 
Oh, my daddy was an engineer
Instead of making some plans
He had to work with his hands
He said just moving around
Was only dragging him down
C 
He had to work hard
G 
Just to work it all out
Bm 
Am 
True, he had dreams
Bm 
But his plans and his schemes
Am 
G 
They always fell apart
