i was walking down that road , to the place that was my home ,
Dm F C
and the memories of a life go on forever ,
F A# F
here’s the village , here’s the sea and here’s the place where it began ,
Gm7 Am7 A# F C
when i found myself in the arms of lady madonna ,
Dm A# F A#
and then i listen for those footsteps , coming down the hall ,
C Dm
a father to his young boy , who was hurting from a fall ,
A# Dm C A#
you must have heard me crying , you must have dried my tears ,
F Dm C
but you know , i just can’t remember , just can’t remember ,
A# F A# C F A#
the son and the father , the son and the father ,

F A# C
now i’m walking with my boy through the place that is our home ,
Dm F C
and the memories of his life are growing forever ,
A# F A# F
and i’m looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world ,
Gm7 Am7 A# F C
then hand in hand we will make this journey together ,
Dm A# F A#
and we will talk of men and pirates , and heroes in the dark ,
C Dm
i will tell him of the hungers and the mysteries of the heart ,
A# Dm C A#
and i will always hear you crying , i will always dry your tears ,
F C Dm C
and i pray you’ll always remember , always forever
A# F A# C F A#
the son and the father , the son and the father ,
C F A# Am A# C F
the son and the father , the son and the father . . .
