He grew up in a city in northern Spain
D 
Em 
An idyllic life till the civil war came
F#m 
Under Franco's gaze
G 
there came darker days
D

Em 
He met my mother on a London bus
D 
They married at a registry
Em 
without any fuss
F#m 
His Air   Force days passed,
G 
he found love and laughed
D 
And soon there were three of us

whatever life should bring
Bb

Cm 
Help your fellow man,
do the best you can,

With just one hundred dollars
Em 
and no  guarantee,
D 
We sailed from England and
Em 
crossed the sea.
F#m 
Though he struggled alone,
G 
Toronto soon was home
D 
To my mother, sister, brother, and me
Em 
He painted on a rooftop in Mexico
D 
Em 
A year -long sabbatical, we loved it so
F#m 
G 
It went along with all the 60 songs
D 
And this philosophy
we'd come to know
Cm 
Just do your thing,
whatever life should bring
Bb 
Inner peace will set you free
Cm 
Never be afraid of the
mistakes you've made

do the best you can
