VERSE 1
         A
When I'm five
       G                          D        Dsus4
I will wash my face and hands all by myself

When I'm five
       G                            D            C

VERSE 2
         A
When I'm five
       G                     D             Dsus4
I will read the magazines in mummy's drawer
D    Dsus4
         A
When I'm five
       G                              D           C
I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade
           G                                D    Dsus4
'cause I'm only four and grown-ups walk too fast
D   Dsus4

BRIDGE
G             C                  G                 C
Yesterday was horrid day, 'cause Raymond kicked my shin
    G                  C                   G              C
And mummy says if I am good, she'll let me go to school in august
      A               D           A                   D
Daddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfast
      A                  D         A                D
And I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled
  A                             G                            D    Dsus4
I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five
D    Dsus4

VERSE 3
         A
When I'm five
       G                                  D            Dsus4
I will catch a butterfly and eat it and I won't be sick
D   Dsus4
         A
When I'm five
       G                                   D          C
I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum
         G                           D   Dsus4
And I'll let my daddy do the washing-up
D   Dsus4

BRIDGE
G              C               G                  C
If I close one eye, the people on that side can't see me
      G                C             G                 C
I get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddie's triclycle
         A                D          A           D
And everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshop
       A                D              A         D
Then I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me
  A                         G                               D   Dsus4
I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he'd make me five
D   Dsus4
  A                         G                               D   Dsus4
I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he'd make me five
D   Dsus4
