Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
My [D]dad always
wanted to visit Africa
A place, far away, yet so near
In his soul he could feel
the [Em]connec[D] tion
When he [G]sang there were [D]echoes
he could hear
[A][Em][A]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[A]So [D]glad I could make that
journey for him
Maybe that's what sons sometimes do
Fulfill the wishes of their fathers
Making their [G]dreams[D]
come true
[A]

[Verse 3]
There's [D]a photo on the [A]wall
in the [Bm]kitchen[Em]
I turn [D]around and he's
[Em]smiling down on [Asus4]me
I [A]mis[D]s him, thank him,
[A]lov[G]e him so[D]
For [Em]showing me a w[Asus4]ay
[A]to be[Asus4]

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Happily my ma's still with us
She turned 94 last year
Next week she plans to visit
the Smithsonian
She's [Em]frail, [G]though her[D] mind is
crystal [Asus4]clear[A]

[Verse 5]
[A]
[D]Sometimes I hear my dad's
voice so clearly
Inside mine when I sing certain songs
And know my sisters recognize the sound
It's a [G]family affair,
so strong
[Em][Asus4][Em]

[Verse 6]
[A]
There's [D]a photo on the wall
[A]in the kitche[Em]n[G][Em]
I turn [D]around and he's smil
[Em]ing down on [Asus4]me[A]
And I [D]miss him, thank him,
[G]love him [D]so
[Em]For showing me a [Asus4]way to be

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 7]
These [D]words came to me after midnight
Finally I got up, took my guitar
[Em]From that [D]picture hanging on the wall
Came [G]a song [D]falling like
a star
[A][Em]

[Verse 8]
There's [D]a photo on the
[A]wall in the kit[Em]chen[G][Em]
I turn [D]around and he's smiling
[Em]down on [Asus4]me[A]
I mis[D]s him, thank him, l[G]ove him s[D]o
For [Em]showing me a[Asus4] way to be
