The Soul Of My Father's Shadow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E]
[A][E]

[Verse 1]
Oh I [E]moved to the sound
Of my father's shadow
Al[Bm]ways [E]pulling [D]on [E]these chains
Trying to break [A]free
Over the wall
Into the darkest [E]night
Not knowing
What was just ahead for me
He used to say
You got to know [Em]the way
You [E]got to do some schooling every day

[Verse 2]
Son, I'm so [E]scared,
scared of what I see
Oh you got [Em]to cool [E]down or you'll
end up like [D]me[Am]
Chasing [B]the soul
Of my father's shadow
[E][Em][E][Em][E]

[Verse 3]
Oh I hear
what they're saying
What they whis[D]per [Bm]I know[E]
A chip off the block
With a raging fire down below
And no guessing, [D]no [E]guessing
It's so easy to see
Always punching at them walls
Always trying to [Em]break [E]free

[Verse 4]
[Am]
But I hear mama say
Only [Bm]trouble goona come my [C]way
Moving to [Bm]the sound
[B]Of my father's shadow[E]

Mama [D]say I feel [Em]he's running wild
She say [D]why [Em]why why
Oh cry cry cry
[E]So [Em]well I know
So well I know

[Verse 6]
That raging fire below
[Am]
Chasing [Bm]the soul, chasing the soul,
[C]chasing the sou[Bm]l
Of my father's [E]shad[Am]ow
Chasing [Bm]the soul, chasing the soul,
[C]chasing the sou[Bm]l
Of my father's [Em]shadow[E][D][E]
[Em]Oh of my f[G]ather's shad[Em]ow
[G][Em][E]
