E                        A      B
I haven't always been a single man
E                     F#m        A
And I haven't always lived up here
E                          A
Along with all these other single men
B      E                               F#m              A
With a ring around the bath and a cigarette butt in my beer

E                        A      B
I haven't always been a lonely man
E                     F#m      A
And I haven't always lived alone
E                      A                   B
As you know I haven't always drunk this much
    E    
But hey before you cut me down
F#
Just try standing in my shoes
A
Because I don't have to hear one word of this, no

E
On any other day
F#
I might care what you say
A
But every Saturday is Father's day
E
You might call it sad
F#
You might call me mad
A            E/G# F#m         E
But I've got one who calls me Dad

(PLAY BARS 3,4 and 5 OF INTRO)

E                             A       B
And all the other blokes who live up here
E                   F#m   A
Know how to leave a man alone
E                                A
They're not a bad ol' bunch who live up here
B           E                     F#m            A
Ah, but you know that it's not family, it's not home

E                             A      B
What of the darling wife that once I had?
E                                      F#m      A
Well I'm pleased to say that she still talks to me
E                         A             B
But I try not to think of what went wrong
        E
Because if I say that i was right

F#
She might say that she was right
A
And the only rights I care about are visiting rights, yeah

E
On any other day
F#
I might care what you say
A
But every Saturday is Father's day
E
You might call it sad
F#
You might call me mad
A           E/G# F#m          E
But I've got one who calls me Dad

D                        E
We go where he wants to go (He calls me Dad)
E                       D
We do what he wants to do (He calls me Dad)
D                       E
I tell everything I know (He calls me Dad)
        B  F#m            E
Cos I'd do anything to prove
          B  F#m
Yeah, I'd do anything to prove
E
That every Saturday
F#
I will do just what he says
        A
Because every single Saturday is Father's day
E
You might call it sad
F#
You might call me mad
A
But it don't feel so bad, when he calls me
E
You might call it sad
F#
You might call me mad
A
But it don't feel half bad, when he calls me
E
You might call it sad
F#
You might call me mad
A         E/G#     F#m                      E      A
But God I feel so great... when he calls me Dad
               B  E     F#m   A
Yeah, he calls me Dad

(REPEAT BARS 2,3,4 and 5 OF INTRO)
E                        A          B  E
I haven't always been a single man...
