^AFirst thing I ^Eremember was ^F#maskin' papa, "^DWhy?", ^AFor there were many ^Fthings I didn't k^Anow. ^AAnd Daddy always ^Esmiled; ^F#mtook me by the h^Dand, ^ASayin', "Someday ^Eyou'll un^Aderstand."

^EWell, I'm here to tell you now each and e^Av'ry mother's son ^EYou better learn it fast; you ^Abetter learn it young, 'Cause, "So^Bmmeday-^Day" Never C^Aomes."

^AWell, time and tears went ^Eby and ^F#mI collected d^Dust, ^AFor there were many t^Fhings I didn't k^Anow. ^AWhen Daddy went ^Eaway, he said, "T^F#mry to be a m^Dan, And, ^ASomeday y^Eou'll under^Astand."

^EWell, I'm here to tell you now each and e^Av'ry mother's son ^EYou better learn it fast; you ^Abetter learn it young, 'Cause, "So^Bmmeday-^Day" Never C^Aomes."

^AAnd then, one day in ^EApril, I ^F#mwasn't even t^Dhere, For ^Athere were many ^Fthings I didn't ^Aknow. ^AA son was b^Eorn to me; M^F#mama held his h^Dand, Sayin' "^ASomeday yo^Eu'll un^Aderstand."

^EWell, I'm here to tell you now each and e^Av'ry mother's son ^EYou better learn it fast; you ^Abetter learn it young, 'Cause, "So^Bmmeday-^Day" Never C^Aomes." 'Cause, "So^Bmmeday-^Day" Never C^Aomes."
