    D ~ ~

 

               D                                              G

1. Now, son, I′ve tried to show you the best I could

      A                                                          D

    some days I fell short, but most were pretty good.

             D                                                    G

    Now as I watch you leave to find your shining star,

                              D           A                       D

    when you get there, remember who you are !

 

       D                                                  G

2. Some will tell you everything you wanna hear,

      A                                                         D

    some will make you question all that you hold dear.

            D                                                 G

    Remember what you learned on this little farm,

                          D         A                  D

    and don't forget, remember who you are !

 

A                                          D

 I can see you going places I have never been,

   A                                                        D                     A

you might wind up winning hearts that I could never win.

        D                                                       G

No matter where you′re going, whether near or far,

                         D            A                       D

when you get there, remember who you are !

 

+  instrumental = verse 3

 

                D                                                G

3. And I haven't always told you when I thought you shined,

      A                                           D

    better to let others brag on what was mine.

          D                                                       G

    I thought it would prepare you for when life gets hard,

                D         A                        D

    and it will, remember who you are.

 

+  CHORUS (2x)

 

                          D         G                        D

+  And don′t forget, remember who you are !
