That’s My Job Harmonica Tab

1  5   6   6 5    4   4    5
I woke up cryin’ late at night
3  -3”  4  4 -3”  3
When I  was very young
-3”  4     4    -4  5  4
I  had dreamed my father
3    -3”  4 4  -4   -4
Had passed away and gone
1    5    6   6    5 -4   4
My world revolved around him,
4  5  3    -3”   4   4 -3” 3 -3”
I couldn’t lie there any – more
3 -3” 4   -4  4   4    4   -4  5    4
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
3   -3”   4 4  -4   -4
And tapped upon his door.
3  4  4      6 5    4  5  -5  5
And I said, “Daddy, I’m so afraid!
4   4   5 -4 4   4    4   5    -4   4
How will I go on with you gone that way?
4     4   5   6  6  5 4
Don’t want to cry anymore
4   4 -4   5   -5   -4
So may I stay with you?”
3  5  -4 4    4     -4  5
And he said, “That’s my job,
4     -4  5 5
That’s what I do
-5  -5  -5 5 -4 4  -4  5   6   4
Everything I do is because of you,
4   4    5   -4   6   6
To keep you safe with me
4    5  -4    4   4
That’s my job, you see.”

Verse 2:
Later we barely got along,
This teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over
Different dreams we each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning,
I wanted to fly out west
Said, “I could make it out there,
If I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?”
And I said, “Daddy, I’m so afraid
There’s no guarantee
In the plans I’ve made
And if I should fail
Who will pay my way back home?”
And he said, “That’s my job,
That’s what I do
Ev’rything I do is because of you to keep
You safe with me
That’s my job, you see.”

-6 -6  -6 6    6     6   5
Every person carves his spot
4    4    4   -4   5     5
And fills the hole with light
-4 -4  4    4   4 -4   5
And I pray someday I might
4   4     5   -4 -4
Light as bright as he.

Verse 3:
Woke up early one bright fall day
To read the tragic news
After all my travels, I settled down
Within a mile or two
I make my livin’ with words and rhymes
And all the tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead
As bits of poetry.

But I say, “Daddy I’m so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way
How can I come up with a song to say,
“I love you.”
“That’s my job, that’s what I do
Ev’rything I do is because of you to
Keep you safe with me
That’s my job, you see.”

-5  -5  -5 5 -4 4  -4  5   6   4
Everything I do is because of you,
4   4    5   -4   6   6
To keep you safe with me.
