All The Daughters (Of Her Father's House)

by R I McNabb

Duncan Priestley sent this one in exactly a year ago - forgot I had it - oops! I've basically copied and pasted it, so the format is slightly different to other songs on the site: I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

INTRO | VERSE 1 | CHORUS | VERSE 2 | CHORUS | MIDDLE SECTION | SOLO | CHORUS | OUTRO
 

VERSE 1

A    G      D
Forgive me for the state I'm in
     A        G      D
They cut the rope that I was climbing
A             G        D
Tally with incentive you should
A     G         D
slip down here and taste the poison
E     F#m     D
Small fat man with case in hand
E F#m     D
Survey the situation, brother,
     D               G              E
the small price of a bicycle isn't mine

CHORUS

C     F        Bb
We'll be watching, we'll be waiting
C    F     Bb
Heavens let your heart decide
       C F      Bb        G   Dm F
She's all the daughters of her fathers house
C                 F        Bb
See the changes, none the wiser
C        F        Bb
Ton o' rusty dreams inside her
C   F        Bb      E
all the daughters of her father's house
 

VERSE 2

A        G       D
You and I are old companions
A    G      D
Can't resist the challenge can we?
A         G   D
Saw you on the television
A    G      D
Nine years older, up and counting
E              F#m   D
Father drove a taxi cab
    E     F#m   D
I'd sit below the meter  if you'd
      D              G                    E
you'd try to hail us We'd have passed you by


Middle Section

Am           Dm
Can't pin it down,
       F           Em
I'm confused been abused but maybe
Am          Dm
not giv'em greed would not
F                   E
bite the hand that feeds


Play 1st part of verse as solo, then sing chorus to end.
