Family Man
Artist: The Park
Verse:
(A) It’s happened again, heard it on the news
(E) A father of two, standing accused.
(A) Mother’s dead, torn apart.
(E) Seventeen times, stabbed in the heart
(A) Daughter’s been found, body getting colder.
(E) Killed by hands that used to hold her.
(A) Baby’s blue, smothered where he lay.
(A) Never even saw his first birthday.
A & E are played like this:
(A) (E)
E
B 10
G 9 9
D 7 9
A 7
E 0
Chorus: (uses standard bar chords)
(A) He’s a family man, (G)(F#)(E)he loves his wife
(F#)(G)(A) Thinks he has the right(G)(F#)(E) to take her life.
(F#)(G)(A) If he can’t have her, (G)(F#)(E) then nobody will.
(F#)(G)(A) He justifies (G)(F#)(E) his right to kill.
Verse 2:
Just a domestic, don’t get in the way.
Not our business, it’ll be OK.
Can’t believe he would do such a thing,
You wouldn’t think it to look at him.
Pushed too far, couldn’t take any more.
But it never happens in the superstore.
It always happens in the family home,
Behind closed doors, when they’re alone.
Verse 3
Such a nice man, or so he seemed.
Don’t see the violence behind the scenes.
Can’t deal with his hurt, can’t let go.
Can’t take the knock to his ego.
They try to say he just lost control,
A moment of madness all it takes to kill.
That’s just a lie but it’s easy to swallow.
Face the facts, it’ll happen tomorrow.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PARK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
