Someday never comes

A E F#m Dm
1. First thing I remember, I was asking papa, why,
A F A
for
there were many things, I didn’t know.
A
E - F#m D
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
A - E A
saying
someday, you’ll understand.
E A
Well, I’m here to tell you now, each and every mother’s son,
E A
you better learn it fast, you
better learn it young,
Bm - D A
’cause someday....y never comes.
A E
- F#m
Dm
2. Well, time and tears went by, and I collected dust,
A F A
for
there were many things I didn’t know.
A
E - F#m D
When daddy went away, he said ‘ try to be a
man’,
A - E A
and
someday you’ll understand.
+ CHORUS
A E - F#m Dm
3. And then one day in April,
I wasn’t even there,
A F A
for
there were many things I didn’t know.
A E - F#m D
A son was born to me, mama held his hand,
A - E A
saying
someday you’ll understand.
+ CHORUS
Bm - D A
+ Oh, someday....y never comes.

4. Think it was September, the year I went away,
A Dm A
for
there were many things I didn’t know.
A E - F#m D
And I still see him standing, trying to be a man,
A - E A
I said someday, you’ll understand.
E A
Well, I’m here to tell you now, each and every mother’s son,
E A
you better learn it fast, you
better learn it young,
Bm - D A
’cause someday....y never comes.
Bm - D A
+ Oh, someday....y never comes.
+ Bm - A - Bm - A (2x) ....
