NO SON OF MINE (Genesis)

INTRO:  Em    C    D    Bsus4    Em6    D    Bm    C

         Em           C
Well the key to my survival
     D            Bsus4
was never in much doubt
     Em                D           
the question was how   I could keep sane
 Bm                   C
trying to find a way out
Em                    C
   Things were never easy for me,
          D               Bsus4
peace of mind was hard to find
       D                   A
And I needed a place where I could hide
 C                     G
somewhere I could call mine


Em                      C
   I don't think much about it
          D                      Bsus4
'Til it started happening all the time
Em                          D
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Bm                         C
Of what might happen that night
Em                      C
   I couldn't stand to hear the crying
       D                    Bsus4
Of my mother, and I remember when
             D                               A      
I swore that, that would be the last they'd see of me
       C                G
And I never went home again

D/E                          E
    They say that time is a healer
            D/E                E
and now my wounds are not the same
D/E                           E
    I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
  D/E                    E
I had to hear what he'd say
C/G                    G      
    He sat me down to talk to me
D/A                           Am7
He looked me straight in the eyes
         G/D       C/D            Bm/D      C/D
He said:"    You're no son  you're no son of mine
D       C/D           Bm/D       C/D
  You're no son you're no son of mine
G     D/G            C/G
  You walked out you left us behind 
G           D/G           C/G        D/G    G   D/G   C/G   G
  and you're no son you're no son of mine"


D/G        C/G                         D/G      Em7    D/E  C/D  D
    Oh his words how they hurt me I'll never forget it
C            D/C          C    Bm7         Em7
  And as the time it went by I lived to regret it
                     C
You're no son you're no son of mine
D                           C/D         D Em7
  But where should I go and what should I do?
                     C
You're no son you're no son of mine
D                               C/D   D       Em6
  But I came here for help Oh I came here for you 


C    D    Bsus4   Em6   D    Bm    C


          Em                   C
Well the years they passed so slowly
     D                  Bsus4
I thought about him everyday
 Em                    D
What would I do if we passed on the street
 Bm                    C
Would I keep running away?
Em                C
   In and out of hiding places
  D                       Bsus4
Soon I'd have to face the facts
           D                    A
That we'd have to sit down and talk it over
 C                     G
that would mean going back


CHORUS


D/G         C/G                        D/G      Em7    D/E  C/D  D
    Oh his words how they hurt me I'll never forget it
C            D/C          C    Bm7         Em7
  And as the time it went by I lived to regret it
                      C
You're no son you're no son of mine
D                            C/D         D Em7
   But where should I go and what should I do?
                     C
You're no son you're no son of mine
D                                   C/D   D      Em6
  But I came here for help Oh I was loo_king for you
                     C              D   Bsus4   Em   C   D   Bsus4    
You're no son you're no son of mine  (ad libs to fade...)
