[Verse 1]
D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7         D7D7
  There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
    G+G      A7A7      D MajorD

  Biding my time and watching Scotty grow

D MajorD     Dmaj7Dmaj7     D7D7
 Makin' a castle out of building blocks
   G+G       A7A7     D MajorD
And a cardboard box, that's my boy
D MajorD    Dmaj7Dmaj7        D7D7
 Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock

Well, that's quite a shock, that's my boy

[Chorus 2]
    G+G           A augmentedA         F#F#   B minorBm
   In four short years I've gone from rags to riches
    G+G      A augmentedA         D MajorD
  And what I did before that I don't know
    G+G         A augmentedA       F#F#       B minorBm
   So let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow
       G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD
  And we're sittin' here shinin' watching Scotty grow

[Verse 3]
D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7       D7D7
 Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
  G+G      A7A7       D MajorD
Old sleepy head, that's my boy
           D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
               G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD
A augmentedA teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy

[Chorus 3]
   G+G             A augmentedA           F#F#    B minorBm
   What's that you say mama, come on and keep your feet warm
   G+G            A augmentedA          D MajorD
 Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
   G+G           A augmentedA           F#F#       B minorBm
  I think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go
   G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
   Me and God, watching Scotty grow
   G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
   Me and God, watching Scotty grow
