Good Tradition - Tanita Tikram
[Intro]
A D A E7
A D A E7
[Chorus]
A D
There's a good tradition of love and hate
A E7
staying by the fireside
A D
There's a good tradition of love and hate
A E7
staying by the fireside
[Verse 1]
A D
And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
A E7
You still feel safe inside
A D
And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
A E7
You still feel safe inside
[Refrain]
D
Oh, was this solo?
A
Was this yesterday?
E7 A
Was this true for you?
A D A
'Cause all the rest have taken time
E7 A
This didn't do a lot for you
[Instrumental]
| A | D | A | E | x2
[Verse 2]
A D
And the corners laced with memories
A E7
Tell you how it used to be
A D
Your mother smiles, the children play,
A E7
and all the bad things happen miles away
A D
And strong feelings never bother you
A E7
You hold your head up while the rest of us try to
[Refrain]
D
Oh call the stations
A
Call the people
E7 A
We all want to know
A D A
'Cause all the rest have taken time
E7 A
You don't want to know
