Capo I

[Intro]
A Badd11 A Badd11 A Badd11

[Verse 1]
A F#m7 Bm7
My father was a working man
D A
But his work was never done
F#m7 Bm7
He stood behind a counter
D
And he smiled at everyone
A F#m7
He bought himself a business
Bm7 D
Worked seven days a week oh yeah
A F#m7
Took a holiday for Christmas
Bm7
But he fell asleep beside the tree
D2
But one day

[Chorus]
E Bm7
One day There's love for the lonely
E Bm7
One day They walk in the sun
E Bm7
One day Rest for the weary. Rest for the weary ones.

[Interlude]
A Badd11 A Bm7 Bm9 A Badd11 A Bm7 Bm9

[Verse 2]
A F#m7 Bm7
Now my mother stood beside him
D A
She did what she could do
F#m7 Bm7
But if you look at some old photograph
D
She looks tired too
A F#m7
I hope there was some laughter
Bm7 D
'Cause I know there were some tears
A F#m7
Now all I can say is I pray to God
