Little Boy

Am

[Verse]
             D              Am             D    Am
When I was a little boy, my mother said to me
                   D                  Am              D     G
"Watch the newborn roses grow, it's a pretty sight to see
        Em         D      C                D     G
You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below
       Bm      C        Am D          Bm    E       Am
I will be your raindrops  -  you will be my rose

[Verse]
                D               Am            D     Am
“Listen while I tell you of the beauty in the sky
                    D     Am                D      G
There's a place for angels on the clouds so high
       Em    D         C             D      G
I must be an angel, in heaven I will stay
       Bm   C      Am     D         Bm       E       Am
If you ever need me, I'll hear each word you pray"

[Verse]
                  D           Am                  D       Am
Now her raindrops fall no more, who will take her place?
               D               Am          D        G
Will I live to blossom full or wither into space?
     Em      D     C               D      G
Many times I wonder on the clouds above
      Bm      C     Am   D       Bm      E        Am
Is it my dear mother who showers me with love?

[Outro]
             D           Am
When I was a little boy
