Verse 1
C
My father had a Randall knife,
F
Gsus4
G
my mother gave it to him
When he went off to World War
F
C
II to save us all from ruin
Verse 2
C
Now if you've ever held a Randall knife,
F
G
then you know my father well
F
If a better blade was ever made
C
it was probably forged in hell
Verse 3
My father was a good man,
F
G
a lawyer by his trade
F
And only once did I ever see
C
him misuse the blade
Verse 4
C
Well, it almost took his thumb off
F
G
when he took it for a tool
The knife was made for darker things,
F
C
and you could not bend the rules
Verse 5
C
F
He let me take it camping once
on a Boy Scout jamboree
Gsus4
G
And I broke a half an inch off,
F
trying to stick it in a tree
C
Verse 6
F
Oh, I hid it from him for a while but
G
the knife and he were one
He put it in his bottom drawer
F
C
without a hard word one
Verse 7
C
F
And there it slept, there it stayed for
Gsus4
G
20 some odd years
F
Sorta like Excalibur, except waiting for a tear

Verse 8
C
F
Well, my father died when I was 40, and I
G
couldn't find a way to cry
Not because I didn't love him,
F
not because he didn't try
C
Verse 9
I've cried for every lesser thing,
F
G
whiskey, pain and beauty
And he deserved a better tear,
F
C
and I was not quite ready
Verse 10
C
F
Oh, we took his ashes out to sea and
G
poured 'em off the stern
F
And threw the roses in the wake of
everything we'd learned
C
Verse 11
When we got back to the house,
F
G
they asked me what I wanted
Not the lawbooks, not the watch,
F
C
I need the thing he's haunted
Verse 12
C
G
Well, my hand burned for the Randall knife
F
Gsus4
G
there in the bottom drawer
I found a tear for my father's life,
F
C
all that it stood for
