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
