[Verse]
E7sus4/B      Em7            Em7/A                   D
  I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world.
    E7sus4/B             Em7                    Em7/A                    D
But she's just like a maze, where all of the walls all continually change.
Em7  D E7sus4/B Em7                     Em7/A                     D6 
    And I've done all I can to stand on her steps with my heart in my hand.
Em7    E7sus4/B Em7                Em7/A                D
    Now I'm starting to see, maybe its got nothing to do with me.
[Chorus]
E7sus4/B Em7      Em7/A   D
Fathers be good to your daugh-ters.
E7sus4/B E7          Em7/A   D6
Daughters will love like you do.
E7sus4/B Em7         Em7/A           D
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers  
    E7sus4/B Em7          Em7/A     D6
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.
[Instrumental]
Bm   Em7   Em7/A   D   Em7   D/F#
[Bridge]
Bm                  Em7
Oooh, you see that skin?
             Em7/A                   D    
It's the same she's been standing in...
Em7  D/F#      Bm               Em7                     Em7/A
    since the day, she saw him walking away, now she's left...
                         D       Em7
cleaning up the mess he made.
D/F#
So
[Chorus]
E7sus4/B Em7      Em7/A   D
Fathers be good to your daugh-ters.
E7sus4/B E7          Em7/A   D6
Daughters will love like you do.
E7sus4/B Em7         Em7/A           D
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers 
    E7sus4/B Em7          Em7/A     D6
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.

D9    Gm/D          D        A7/D                          E7sus4/B
  Boys you can break, you'll find out how much they can take.
                   Em7                  D/F#                Gm11
Boys will be strong, and boys soldier on but boys would be gone without
                A13
warmth from a woman's good, good heart.
[Instrumental]
E7sus4/B   Em7   Em7/A   D   E7sus4/B   Em7   Em7/A   D
[Bridge]
              E7sus4/B Em7              Em7/A
On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
D           E7sus4/B E7           Em7/A   
you are the god and the weight of her world.
D
So...

   E7sus4/B Em7          Em7/A     D6       let ring
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.
