First tab, but I'm pretty sure the chords are about 95% right.
The chords should be roughly in line with the lyrics in terms of when they're played,
but they could be slightly out.

(((keep repeating intro tab until verse 1 finishes)))
Yesterday saw you missing,
Drawn to the light in the distance
Holding her hand while she listened,
She told him how much she would miss him
Said his goodbyes to his children,
And let the weight fade away
(((chords start here)))
Gm I have your hands,
FBut I have my mother's eyes
Your tact and poise
GAnd her sense of wrong and right
CHeard you awake in the middle of the night,
GmLetting Go of the things you keep inside
FWorked your fingers to the bone
GTo be sent home with a cardboard box
CFilled with everything you've known,
C~ GmAll things come to be loved and lost
I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame,
F A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
G C They always say it's clear to see
How parts of you shine through in me
Gm F I think you know, you won't be here forever
GAnd you're counting down the days
C F~'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away
(((play this verse palm muted until ***))) (i also play this part in barre chords)
F C The lessons learned at your side
GmWill stay with me all my life,
GThe man I hope to become, I know is deep down inside
F C GmI know, you don't even need to say,
G ***I know you're proud in your own way
F C Gm G I know you're proud in your own way
F C Gm G
FAnd you watched me grow up
CAs I watched you grow older,
Gm GThe chip off your block, held me up on your shoulders
F C Gm~~~ I wish I told you yesterday
