In my fashion, I have been a good man

[Verso 1]
 
A           E         B        E 
There have been times, I have seen the reaper 
A       E        B            E 
In the bad times, and in the good 
A       E        B        E 
I have bent down, I have touched the ground 
A        E        B          E 
Saying prayers and touching wood

Chorus 
A      E     B         E 
In my fashion, I have been a father 
A       E            B            E 
I have loved and been loved in return 
A        E    B         E 
From the ashes, I have kept the home fires 
A        E   B                  E 
Burning after all was said and done 

E Esus4 B 

[Ponte]

     A      B       E 
Now take a look at me 
      E            Esus4    B 
Do I look like the kind of guy, 
                              A    B    E 
the kinda fool who went to school 
                        E Esus4 B 
And had to stand on a stool 
                                           A    B    E 
Because he couldn't come t' terms with a slide rule 
              E    Esus4 B 
Take a look around again 
           A         B           E 
Is it any different now than it was then
