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 Bb F
Here's the village, here's the sea and here's the place where it began,
Gm7 Am7 Bb F C
When I found myself in the arms of Lady Madonna,
Dm Bb F Bb
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,
Bb Dm C Bb
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,
Bb F Bb C F Bb
The son and the father, the son and the father,
F Bb 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,
Bb F Bb F
And I'm looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world,
Gm7 Am7 Bb F C
Then hand in hand we will make this journey together,
Dm Bb F Bb
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,
Bb Dm C Bb
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
Bb F Bb C F Bb
The son and the father, the son and the father,
C F Bb Am Bb C F
The son and the father, the son and the father...
