* capo 2 fret *

verse 1 :

A E F#m D
and Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand ,
A E A
sayin’ , “someday you’ll understand . ”

chorus :

when Daddy went away , he said , “try to be a man ,
A E A
and , someday you’ll understand . ”

and then , one day in april , i wasn’t even there ,
A F A
for there were many things i didn’t know .
A E F#m D
a son was born to me; mama held his hand ,
A E A
sayin’ “someday you’ll understand . ”

chorus

here’s where it gets more difficult :

A# F Gm D#

A# F# A#

i said , “someday you’ll understand . ”
