Father Of A Son chords by The Ark

The Ark - Father of a Son (2002)
Chords 5/2-2015 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E

The part right before the first chorus is a bit tricky, so listen to the song to learn the rhythm.
I simply use power chords for that, though there are probably other ways to do it even better!

[Intro]:
(No chords)
One day I will become, the father of a son!
   F      D     Esus4  E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!

D D A
D D A

[Verse 1]:
      A   D
Well, I've had my share
   A       D
Of remarks about my rear
    C          F
But I know it's all 'bout fear
             B           E
And that you'd probably love it if you'd only dare
        A           D
And I know a thousand girls who'd go wild
    A          D
If I'd ask them to bear my child
    C            F
So I don't see why you'd even care
   B            E5 F#5 G5 G5 G#5
To prevent me, 'cause I can swear

[Chorus]:
     A      D/A
That one day I will become
   G/A  D/A  A
The father of a son
   F      D     Esus4 E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
   A     D/A
One day I will become
  G/A  D/A  A
The father of a son
   F      D     Esus4 E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

[Verse 2]:
      A           D
And you're totally fogged in your head
       A             D
If you were serious right now when you said
       C                F
That ?it's because they will be bullied in school?
            B            E
'Cause that means you let the bullies set the rules
       A       D
And you can legislate and oppress
       A       D
And you can make my life a mess
     C           F
But you can't change the way I feel
    B             E
Or convince me that my wish is unreal
       A         D
And you can strike me down and fence me
       A             D
And you can claim that there?s opinion against me
      C       F
But I'll still win over you, Sir
        B             (No chord, drum fill)
'Cause if you fight love you're always a loser

[Chorus]:
     A      D/A
And one day I will become
   G/A  D/A  A
The father of a son
   F      D     Esus4 E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!
   A     D/A
One day I will become
  G/A  D/A  A
The father of a son
   F      D     Esus4 E
Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuu-jaaah!

[Bridge]:
  F    Dm
And I may be gay
      Am        Em
But I can tell you straight away
      F    Em   Dm    B   Esus4   E
That I'll become a better father than all of you anyway
(So listen!)

[Outro]:
  A      D/A
One day I will become
  G/A  D/A  A
The father of a son
   F      D     Esus4  E (song fades out, keep playing E)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuu-jaaaah!
