VERSE

  C                     G
  Every fathers' day, I hear the same old story,
         C                               G
  But if fathers are so great, why don't they get any glory?
      C                              F                    G
  You hear about their sons, and the great things they've done,
          C                        G          C
  But the fathers of great men are quickly forgotten:

BRIDGE

  C              F
  Rockefeller created gas stations;
  C               F
  Washington gave birth to a nation;
  C              F
  Bell revolutionised communication;
  C          F
  King ended segregation.

CHORUS

         C                              F                   C
  Well I know all of these men, and the good things they've done,
              C                       G                 C
  But I don't know any of the men who called these men "son".
         C                        F              G
  So, if fatherhood is the most important job by far,
            C                             G                C
  Why don't I know who the fathers of the founding fathers are?

VERSE

  C                     G
  I can only think of a couple of men,
           C                            G
  Who were famous but had dads who were awesomer than them.
       C                    F         G
  Just think about it for a minute or two,
             C                            G                  C
  And try to think of more than Jesus and Hank Williams, Junior.

      C                G
  And I'd be a fool if I didn't mention,
      C                                 G
  The dads who raised kids who happened not to be men.
            C                        F           G
  The great women of this world were once little girls,
           C                              G        C
  And were polished by their fathers into powerful pearls.

BRIDGE

  C               F
  Earhart was the queen of aviation;
  C                     F
  Nightingale saved hospitalisation;
      C                F
  And Curie discovered radiation;
      C                   F
  And Tubman fought for emancipation.

CHORUS

         C                                F              C
  Well I know all of these women, and the places they've been,
              C                          G                C
  But I don't even know the names of the men who fathered them.
         C                        F              G
  So, if fatherhood is the most important job by far,
                 C                             G                C
  Then why don't I know who the fathers of the founding fathers are?

VERSE

     C                     G
  We spend a lot more time talking about,
      C                           G
  The dads of the guys who turned out to be louts.
          C                           F            G
  We only talk about the dad when the parenting is bad,
          C                     G            C
  And the kid ends up murdering half of Leningrad.

          C            G
  So it's obvious good dads are underrated,
       C                        G
  So I guess they need a day to be appreciated.
           C                        F                   G
  Which is why we're here to day, I think we all should say,
   C                                 G             C
  "Thanks" to the men who made great men and women great.

BRIDGE

  C                      F
  Jack Daniels perfected distillation;
      C                F
  And Disney pioneered animation;
      C               F
  And Edison brought electrification;
      C                 F
  And Gandhi fought for liberation.

CHORUS/OUTRO

  Well I know all of these men, and the good things they've done,
              C                       G                 C
  But I don't know any of the men who called these men "son".
         C                        F              G
  So, if fatherhood is the most important job by far,
                 C                             G                C
  Then why don't I know who the fathers of the founding fathers are?
            C                             G                C
  Why don't I know who the fathers of the founding fathers are?
            C                             G                C
  Why don't I know who the fathers of the founding fathers are?
