C                  D                  G
A word in your ear, from father to son
 D                    Em
Hear the word that I say
C                 D                   G
I fought with you, fought on your side
Bm                    E
Long before you were born

Chorus:
G                      C
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
      Am                D
From father to son, to son

And the voice is so clear, time after time it keeps
Calling you, calling you on
Don't destroy what you see, your country to be
Just keep building on the ground that's been won

Chorus:
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son

                      F
Won't you hear us sing
Our family song?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
               G# E
Now we hand it on
                            D A
But I've heard it all before
E                                D A
Take this letter that I give you
E                           D A
Take it, sonny, hold it high
E                                       D
You won't understand a word that's in it
A            E                            D
But you'll write it all again before you die

A word in your ear from father to son
Funny you don't hear a single word I say
But my letter to you will stay by your side
Through the years till the loneliness is gone

G               C
Sing if you will
         D       Em       Asus4    A
But the air you breathe I live to give you
C            A                                   G
Father to son, father to, father to, father to son

Chorus:
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Kings will be crowned
The word goes around
From father to son, to son
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Kings will be crowned
The word goes around
From father to son, to son
