Footsteps Of Our Fathers
Pat Green
Album: What I'm For (2009)

Intro: | E | A | A | E |

E
Now we are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
           F#m
Trying to learn from those who came before us
                D                            B
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face

          E
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
               A
The truth is inside we're all the same
   F#m
So come on all my sisters and my brothers
          D          E                                   | E | A | A |
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers

E
I'm the first to say I don't know what I'm doing
   A
I ain't gonna preach what I don't know
          B
'Cause I ain't no deep theologer, no Ph.D psychologer
A                                B
I'm making all this s**t up as I go

E
But I know for sure we're all in this together
3          A
And in a thousand years we still won't get it right
          B
So let's rip a page out of old Hank Williams hymnal
       A                               B
Let's have little church right here tonight

E
As we go walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
           F#m 
Trying to learn from those who came before us
            D                                B
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face

          E
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
      A
The truth is inside we're all the same
                 F#m
Come on all my sisters and my brothers
           D        B                               E
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers

           Abm                        A
As I look down at the brother of my daughter
      E                               B
As I kneel and kiss the sister of my son
       Abm                                  A
I only hope I leave the righteous path to follow
             F#m   B
As they go walking

B                                        E
We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers

We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers

         A                           E
We are walking, walking in the footsteps
