Child's Song

Murray McLaughlan

E         A                                 E
Goodbye momma goodbye to you too pa
F#m                                                                                         A Amaj7
Little sister you'll have to wait a while to come along
E                                A                 E
Goodybye to this house and all it's memories
F#m                                                         A Amaj7
We just got too old to say we're wrong
E         E/D#         E/C#         E/B Amaj7
Got to make one last trip to my bedroom
E                 E/D#        E/C#         E/B Amaj7
Guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind
E                 E/D#        D/C#         E/B         Amaj7
It's funny how the same old crooked pictures
E                 E/D#         D/C#        E/B Amaj7
Just don't seem the same to me tonight

E                         A                         E
There ain't no use in sheding lonely tears mamma
F#m                                                                 A Amaj7
There ain't no use in shouting at me pa
E                         A                                E
I can't live no longer with your fears mamma
F#m                                                                 A Amaj7
I love you but that hasn't helped at all
E         E/D#        E/C#                 E/B Amaj7
Each of us must do the things that matter
E         E/D#         E/C#         E/B Amaj7
All of us must see what we can see
E         E/D#         E/C# E/B         Amaj7
It was long ago you must remember
E                E/D#        E/C#         E/B         Amaj7
You were once as young and scared as me

E                        A                                 E
I don't know how hard it is yet mamma
F#m                                                         A Amaj7
When you relaize you're growning old
E                 A                                 E
I know how hard is not to be younger
F#m                                                                         A Amaj7
I know you've tried to keep me from the cold
E                 E/D#        E/C#                E/B Amaj7
Thanks for all you done it may sound hollow
E                 E/D#        E/C#                        E/B Amaj7
Thank you for the good times that we've known
E         E/D#         E/C#                E/B        Amaj7
But I must find my own road now to follow
E                E/D# E/C#        E/B Amaj7
You will all be welcome in my home

E                 A                         E
Got my suitacse I must go now
F#m                                                                A Amj7
I don't mind about the things you said
E                 A                                                 E
I'm sorry Mom I don't know where I'm going
F#m                                                 A Amqj7
Remember little sister look ahead
E                E/D#         E/C#        E/B Amaj7
Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise
E         E/D#         E/C#        E/B Amaj7
Maybe I'll have someone at my side
E                                                                 Amaj7
Mamma give your love back to your husband
E                                                                 Amaj7
Father you've have taught we well goodbye

E         A                                        E A E
Goodbye Mamma goodbye to you too pa
