G C/G
When I was just a little child
Em7 D7
We'd climb in this old family car
G C/G
And Daddy would start to sing
Em7 D
Before we rode very far
Am C/G
I really don't remember
Fmaj7
If his songs were quite on key
Am Fmaj7
But that didn't matter to me
Dsus D C
It was my Father's song
[Chorus]
D G Bm7
And he sings a song of love
Em
And a song of caring
C G
You sing it with your heart
Am D
You sing it with your life
G
And it's a song of giving
Bm7 Em
Of giving much more than you're asked
C G
Knowing that what you've done for Christ
Am D C G
Is all that is going to last
[Verse 2]
Bm7 Em7
As I grew up I heard that song
C G
Time and time again
Bm7 Em7
A gentle word or a tender touch
C D
And that song would begin
Am7 C/G
I've heard it in his laughter
Fmaj7
And it moves me more and more
Am C/G
I can see it in his eyes
Fmaj7
When he talks about the Lord
Dsus D
It's my Father's song
[Verse 3]
G
And if I were the greatest musician
Em D
Who ever walked upon a stage
G
If I could sing any song I liked
Em D
Any instrument I could play
Am C/G
I wouldn't need a piano
Fmaj7
I wouldn't need a violin
Am C/G
I'd choose a heart filled with his love
Fmaj7
And then I'd begin
Dsus D Dsus D
To sing my Father's song
D#sus D# C#
His song
[End Chorus]
D# G#
And I'd sing that song of love
D# Fm
And that song of caring
C# G#
You sing it with your heart
C# D#
You sing it with your life
G#
And it's a song of giving
D# Fm
Of giving much more than you're asked
C# G#
Knowing that what you've done for Christ
A#m D# C#
Is all that is really gonna last
G#
Like my Father's song
