Verse 1:
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie tumbled out to play
       D
By the farmhouse on the hillside late one autumn day
Emadd9
Sat with her dog Dasher under the apple tree
D         D/C#     D/B   D/A  G   A  D
Chatting away in a world of make-believe

Verse 2:
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie skipped towards the south
D
Mum had hung the washing and was back inside the house
    Emadd9
And tagging along was Dasher as Millie passed behind the hill
D           D/C#        D/B  D/A   G    A  D
Leaving the yard by the farmhouse, deathly still
D            D/C#        D/B  D/A   G    A  D
Leaving that yard by the farmhouse, deathly still

Chorus:
Emadd9   D
Millie
Emadd9   A
Millie

Verse 3:
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie, her mother wept in vain
   D
It echoed up the hillside, drifted back again
    Emadd9
She checked the sheds, checked the dam and put the word around
        D        D/C#    D/B    D/A    G   A    D
And the search began for Millie as the sun went down
    D        D/C#    D/B    D/A    G   A    D
The search began for Millie as the sun went down

Chorus:
Emadd9   D
Millie
Emadd9   A
Millie

Verse 4:
Emadd9
Little barefoot Millie, the desperate searchers cried
       D
As the little girl lay sleeping, and protected by her side
    Emadd9
And that’s how Uncle Andy found her after dawn
       D       D/C#    D/B D/A G    A   D
Curled up with her dog Dasher, safe and warm
       D       D/C#    D/B D/A G    A   D
Curled up with her dog Dasher, safe and warm

Verse 5:
       Emadd9
He was lively in the litter, that faithful working dog
D
He and barefoot Millie were like two peas in a pod
              Emadd9
And when they asked that little girl, where were you, Millie Kwast?
                D     D/C#    D/B  D/A      G  A  D
She said, I was lying next to Dasher, I was never lost
      D     D/C#    D/B  D/A      G  A  D
I was lying next to Dasher, I was never lost

Chorus:
Emadd9            D
Millie, oh little Millie, little barefoot Millie
Emadd9            A
Millie, oh little Millie, little barefoot Mille
