(G)(F#m)(Am)(D)(G)

(G)Every generation (C)Blames the one before
And (G)all of their frustrations, Come (C)beating on your door
(F)I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear
(Am)I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears
(D)I just wish I could have told him, in the living (G)years

Crumpled bits of paper, (C)Filled with imperfect thought
(G)Stilted conversations, I'm (C)afraid that's all we've got
(F)You say you just don't see it, He says it's perfect sense
(Am)You just can't get agreement, In this present tense
(D)We all talk a different language, Talking in de(G)fence

Say it loud, say it (C)clear
You can (Am)listen as (D)well as you (G)hear
It's too late when we (C)die
To ad(Am)mit we don't (D)see eye to (G)eye

So we open up a quarrel, Between the (C)present and the past
We only (G)sacrifice the future, It's the (C)bitterness that lasts 
So (F)Don't yield to the fortunes, You sometimes see as fate
(D)And if you don't give up, and don't give, in You may (G)just be OK.

Say it loud, say it (C)clear
You can (Am)listen as (D)well as you (G)hear
It's too late when we (C)die
To ad(Am)mit we don't (D)see eye to (G)eye

I wasn't there that morning, When my (C)Father passed away
I (G)didn't get to tell him, All the (C)things I had to say
I (F)think I caught his spirit, Later that same year
I'm (Am)sure I heard his echo, In my baby's new born tears
(D)I just wish I could have told him in the living (G)years

Say it loud, say it (C)clear
You can (Am)listen as (D)well as you (G)hear
It's too late when we (C)die
To ad(Am)mit we don't (D)see eye to (G)eye

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: F ↔ Am

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
