Intro:  F Bb  F Bb 
 
      F                      Bb 
After seventeen years behind bars 
 
    Bb                    F 
And lookin back on his mistakes 
 
   F                           Bb 
He sat down and poured out his heart 
 
         G                   C 
When his son came to see him today 
 
Dm              C          Bb 
He spoke with a voice that trembled 
 
Dm       C             Bb 
Tryin to hold back the tears 
 
        Bb           Am        Gm 
He said I ain't been much of a father 
  
      Bb                         C 
Son I wish I could turn back the years 
 
 
      Bb 
Cause life's like a river 
 
        F 
And the water is deep 
 
C 
Cross it with care 
 
          F 
Or you'll end up like me 
 
Bb        C 
Let my mistakes 
 
   F            Bb 
Be your steppin stones 
 
    Gm                     C          F 
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

        F                      Bb 
He said son stay away from the bottle 
 
      Bb                      F 
Watch out for the company you keep 
 
    F                    Bb 
And hold on to those you love 
 
      G                        C 
Cause love is a man's greatest need 
 
Dm            C          Bb 
The right way may not be easy 
 
Dm             C            Bb 
The right road ain't always straight 
 
Bb                Am         Gm 
Son, please don't follow the footsteps 
 
     Bb                 C 
That lead to where I am today 
 
 
      Bb 
Cause life's like a river 
 
        F 
And the water is deep 
 
C 
Cross it with care 
 
          F 
Or you'll end up like me 
 
Bb        C 
Let my mistakes 
 
F               Bb 
Be your steppin stones 
 
    Gm                     C          F 
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
