The Things We've Handed Down

by Marc Cohn

"The Rainy Season"

   D               A             Bm                 G

I don't know much about you,  I don't know who you are

               D          A                         Bm         G

And we'd been doing fine without you  but we could only go so far

   D                  A                  Bm            G

I don't know why you chose us, were you watching from above

           D                 A                   Bm            G D A G   A  

Is there someone there that knows us  said we'd give you all our love

   D                 A                    Bm                 G

I wonder who you'll look like  will your hair fall down and curl

D             A              Bm             G

Will you be a momma's boy or daddy's little girl

         D           A                     Bm             G  

Will you be a sad reminder of what's been lost along the way

       D               A               Bm              G D A G  A

Maybe you can help me find her in the things you do and say

          D                    A               Bm                 G

Will you laugh just like your mother will you sigh like your old man

                  D          A                Bm               G

Will some things skip a generation like I've heard they often can

           A         Bm        D    A     G

Are you a poet or a dancer, a devil or a clown

      D           A    Bm     G                   A      D    A   G

Or a strange new combination of the things we've handed down

             D            A                Bm                G

You may not always be so grateful for the way that you were made

            D               A                   Bm             G

Maybe some feature of your father's that you'd gladly sell or trade

     D               A              Bm                G

And one day you may look at us and say that you were cursed

     D              A               Bm              G

But over time that line has been extremely well rehearsed

        A                 Bm              D       A       G

By our fathers and their fathers in some old and distant town

            D       A     Bm       G                     A      D

>From places no one here remembers come the things we've handed down
