SOMEDAY NEVER COMES
Credence Clearwater Revival


F#	         G# 	    Gm		Em
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,

     F#		      C#	             F#
For there were many things I didn't know.

                  G#	     Gm	    E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,

	F#       G#	      F#
Saying, someday you'll understand.

(chorus:)	  G#			         F#
	Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

	         G#		             F#
	That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

	       Fm  E         F#
	'Cause someday never comes.


Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust.
For there were many things I didn't know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,

And someday you'll understand.

	Well, I'm here...


And then one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me. Mama held his hand,

sayin' someday you'll understand.

	Well, I'm here...

Think it was September, the year I went away,

      C		      A6	     C
For there were many things I didn't know.

      C		      C#        Am           
And still I see him standing tryin' to be a man,

          C	  C#	      C
I said, someday you'll understand.

	           C#                               C
	Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

	          C#                          C
	That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

	        Dm7 6         
	'Cause someday never comes.
