       F                               Bb               F 
I was walking down that road, to the place that was my home, 
         Dm            F            C 
And the memories of a life go on forever, 
            F                                       Bb              F 
Here's the village, here's the sea and here's the place where it began, 
        Gm7     Am7        Bb       F         C 
When I found myself in the arms of Lady Madonna, 
            Dm               Bb         F               Bb 
And then I listen for those footsteps, coming down the hall, 
   C                                Dm 
A father to his young boy, who was hurting from a fall, 
     Bb                             Dm         C       Bb 
You must have heard me crying, you must have dried my tears, 
          F                   Dm                   C 
But you know, I just can't remember, just can't remember, 
     Bb          F    Bb     C           F    Bb 
The son and the father, the son and the father, 

         F                                Bb               C 
Now I'm walking with my boy through the place that is our home, 
         Dm              F                  C 
And the memories of his life are growing forever, 
Bb       F                                   Bb             F 
And I'm looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world, 
      Gm7     Am7          Bb        F         C 
Then hand in hand we will make this journey together, 
             Dm              Bb           F             Bb 
And we will talk of men and pirates, and heroes in the dark, 
        C                               Dm 
I will tell him of the hungers and the mysteries of the heart, 
           Bb                             Dm       C       Bb 
And I will always hear you crying, I will always dry your tears, 
        F         C         Dm               C       
And I pray you'll always remember, always forever 
     Bb          F     Bb     C           F     Bb  
The son and the father,  the son and the father,   
     C           F    Bb  Am  Bb      C           F  
The son and the father,          the son and the father...
