I’ll catch the
Eb
tramline in the

morning
With your
Ab
leave Van Bushell said
He had
Bb
further heard the
Bb7
cock
crow
As he
Ab
stumbled out the
Eb
shed
Then
Eb7
blind Joseph came towards him
With a
Ab
shotgun in his arms
He said you’ll
Bb
pay me twenty
Bb7
dollars
Ab
Before you leave my
Eb
farm
Van
Bb7
Bushell saw the hook
Which re
Ab
placed Joseph’s
Eb
hand
He said now
Eb7
calm you down my brother
Let’s
Bb7
discuss this man to man
It’s no
Eb7

Ab
Try a little bit
Eb
harder
Do for me as
F7

you
With
Eb
blood and water
F7
bricks and mortar
He
Ab
built for you a
Eb
home
You’re the
Eb
son
Bb/D
of your

Cm7/Bb
er
So
Ab
treat me as your
Eb
own
Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle
And he emptied out the shells
Van Bushell he came towards him
He shook his arm and wished him well
He said now hey blind man that is fine
But I sure can’t waste my time
So move aside and let me go my way
I’ve got a train to ride
Well Joseph turned around
His grin was now a frown
He said let me just refresh your mind
Your manners boy seem hard to find
You’re the son of your father…
Well there’s two men lying dead as nails
On an East Virginia farm
For charity’s an argument
That only leads to harm
So be careful when they’re kind to you
Don’t you end up in the dirt
Just remember what I’m saying to you
And you likely won’t get hurt
I’m looking for sheet music to Son of your Father. Can you help?
Hi Tom,
Sorry, I don’t have sheet music unfortunately. Mostly sharing chord sheets that can be used to fool around with playing along by ear. I would try throwing the song on and play along with it using the chord sheet as a guide. Over time, for my self I find I can kinda get some of the parts down by practicing along with it. It’s a great tune!
Thanks!
