[Chorus]
A                 E
I have had no need for fathers
D
Or fathers in the clouds
A              E
Out of the sky
                 D
There comes this guy
        A   E   D
Saying "I...I...I..."

[Verse]
F#m               E
What does one say?
                D
"Where have you been all this time?"
F#m                   E
"Where's my back pay?"
                   D
"Was your Broadway play sublime?"

[Verse]
A             E      D
There is a lie on my birth certificate

    A            E                 D
And the other guy would like me to change it

D
I've met each of them twice

F#m                 E
Here's an odd thing

    D
The correspondence is queer

F#m                     E
We've both written songs

             D
Danced to by Richard Gere
