F            E              F      E         B                       

When you were a little boy I gave you a peach

                        A                              G                                F          E          

it dribbled down your cheek as we played sand castles on the beach

F                  E              F              E

and we built a tunnel and a locomotive too

B                                          A               E E

the cop pit and wings of an aeroplane that flew

 

           A                                                  G G                    

*As far as Hong Kong and as far as Singapore

A                      G

As far as Dubai and London

A                        G G                            

but now it’s time for you to go to school

F                       E

and I am on my lonesome

F                       E            F                              E        B                      

Before you went to school I tried to show you all the world I hope you understand

A                                     G       F             E E          

some folks are very cold so look out for the nice ones

F F          E            E         F E

It don’t matter who you are

B            A                                     E

as long as you keep trying you can go far

F F                E           F              E               B              

I heard you say to a boy the other day It was your decision

                          A         G                F          E

you’d take the consequences come what may

        F           E        F                                 E F        

I was so proud I wanted to shout it out loud

B                         A                       E

over the roof tops and away into the clouds
