Song:

This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo


2  6   7   7 6    5   5    6
I woke up cryin' late at night
 4  -3   5  5 -3   4
When I  was very young
-3  5     5    -5  6  5  
 I had dreamed my father
 4    -3   5 5  -5   -5
Had passed away and gone
2    6    7   7    6 -5   5
My world revolved around him,
5  6  4    -3    5   5 -3  4 -3
I couldn't lie there any - more
4 -3  5   -5  5   5    5   -5  6    5
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
 4   -3    5 5  -5   -5
And tapped upon his door.
 4  5  5      7 6    5  6  -6  6
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid!
 5   5   6 -5 5   5    5   6    -5   5
How will I go on with you gone that way?
 5     5   6   7  7  6 5
Don't want to cry anymore
5   5 -5   6   -6   -5
So may I stay with you?"
 4  6  -5 5    5     -5  6
And he said, "That's my job,
  5     -5  6 6
That's what I do
-6  -6  -6 6 -5 5  -5  6   7   5
Everything I do is because of you,
5   5    6   -5   7   7
To keep you safe with me
  5    6  -5    5   5
That's my job, you see."

Verse 2:
Later we barely got along,
This teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over
Different dreams we each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning,
I wanted to fly out west
Said, "I could make it out there,
If I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee
In the plans I've made
And if I should fail
Who will pay my way back home?"
And he said, "That's my job,
That's what I do
Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep
You safe with me
That's my job, you see."

-7 -7  -7 7    7     7   6
Every person carves his spot
 5    5    5   -5   6     6
And fills the hole with light
-5 -5  5    5   5 -5   6
And I pray someday I might
  5   5     6   -5 -5
Light as bright as he.


Verse 3:
Woke up early one bright fall day
To read the tragic news
After all my travels, I settled down
Within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhymes
And all the tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead
As bits of poetry.

But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way
How can I come up with a song to say,
"I love you."
"That's my job, that's what I do
Ev'rything I do is because of you to
Keep you safe with me
That's my job, you see."

-6  -6  -6 6 -5 5  -5  6   7   5
Everything I do is because of you,
5   5    6   -5   7   7
To keep you safe with me.
