Verse:
E minorEm          EmM7          E minor 7Em7               A7A7
When I was a little boy, they would say to me, don't go in the world and play its bad company
E minorEm               EmM7              E minor 7Em7                 A7A7
All they had was child and faith, let him grow and let him wait just to find out what it was to be free
E minorEm          EmM7            E minor 7Em7               A7A7
Now I'm over twenty one, growing up I've had my fun and I know the way it's got to be
E minorEm         EmM7            E minor 7Em7              A7A7
Baby lying in a womb are you free or in a tomb? Let me in, I feel I want to cry.

Chorus:
C majorC        BB   C majorC        BB       E minorEm EmM7 E minor 7Em7 A7A7 (x2)

Verse:
E minorEm              EmM7               E minor 7Em7                 A7A7
Wash your hands and up to bed, mind your manners or you're dead, mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday
E minorEm         EmM7            E minor 7Em7               A7A7
Put my trust in God, who is he I know not what? Something mummy said to me one Sunday.
E minorEm                EmM7            E minor 7Em7             A7A7
Maybe love is life but life is not something I need plenty of. Oh! I wish I'd never lived a day.
E minorEm              EmM7             E minor 7Em7              A7A7
Now there's no one near me now, tell me what to do and how, take me let me sing my cares away

Chorus:
C majorC        BB   C majorC        BB       E minorEm EmM7 E minor 7Em7 A7A7 (x2)

Verse:
E minorEm        EmM7            E minor 7Em7               A7A7
Oh! I'm empty now; rainy pain has left me now. Think of what my people used to say.
E minorEm               EmM7                 E minor 7Em7                A7A7
Black is black and white is white, which to choose and which is right, guide me to a place where I will stay.
E minorEm            EmM7               E minor 7Em7                 A7A7
Wrap me up and keep me warm, hide myself far from the storm, sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
E minorEm        EmM7            E minor 7Em7               A7A7
Only now I realise why my parents had to try. Love you all and keep you all my life.
