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...
