particularly for the chord changes without vocals. This was all done by ear,
so corrections are welcome. Enjoy.

D            Am     G
      I always knew you
                        F#m
      in your mother's arms
             D
      I have called your name
                 Am
      I have an idea
G                    F#m
      placed in your mind
              D
      to be a better man
                   Am       G
      I've made a crown for you
                     F#m
      put it in your room
                     D
      And when the bridegroom comes
                     Am
      there will be noise
G                    F#m
      there will be glad
            D                    Am
      and a perfect bed
G           F#m

D                           Am
      And when you write a poem
                 G
      I know the words
                  F#m
      I know the sounds
                 D
      before you write it down
                           Am
      When you wear your clothes
                  G
      I wear them too
                   F#m
      I wear your shoes
               D
      and your jacket too
             Am     G
      I always knew you
                        F#m
      in your mother's arms
             D
      I have called you son
                 Am
      I've made amends
        G                 F#m
      between father and son
                D
      Or if you haven't one
                  Am
      rest in my arms
                  G
      sleep in my bed
                   F#m
      There is a design
                D
      to what I did and said
                  Am
      Rest in my arms
                  G
      sleep in my bed
                   F#m
      There is a design
