Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Verse 1] A E F#m D First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?", A F A For there were many things I didn't know. A E F#m D And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand, A E A Sayin', "Someday you'll understand." [Chorus] E A Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son E A You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, Bm D A 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes." [Verse 2] A E F#m D Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust, A F A For there were many things I didn't know. A E F#m D When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man, A E A And, Someday you'll understand." [Chorus] E A Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son E A You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, Bm D A 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes." [verse 3] A E F#m D And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there, A F A For there were many things I didn't know. A E F#m D A son was born to me; Mama held his hand, A E A Sayin' "Someday you'll understand." [Chorus] E A Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son E A You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, Bm D A 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes." Bm D A 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes." [verse 4] Bb F Gm D# Think it was September, the year I went away, Bb F# Bb For there were many things I didn't know. Bb F Gm D# And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man; Bb F Bb I said, "Someday you'll understand." [Chorus] F Bb Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son F Bb You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, Cm D# Bb 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes." Cm D# Bb 'Cause, "Someday-ay" Never Comes."
