Intro:
A - D - A

Verse 1:

A      D
I know you wish

                        A
You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you

       D
I know you wish

                       A
You had a sister you could tell your secrets to

        D
Maybe we'll miss

                  A
Having four sets of china on the table

           D
But I guarantee you this

                    E  F#m
You mean more to me than branches to a maple


Chorus:

        D
Pink painted walls

          A
Your face in my locket

        E
Your daddy and me

         F#m
Your tiny back pocket

        D
Mama's first love

       A
Last of my kind

        E       A
You'll always be my only child

Interlude:
D A

Verse 2:

         D
Well I can't let go

                   A
Of watercolor memories that you made me

         D
And I'm holding on

                   E    F#m
To the innocence of tea parties and daydreams



Chorus:

        D
Pink painted walls

          A
Your face in my locket

        E
Your daddy and me

         F#m
Your tiny back pocket

Mama's first love

You'll always be my only child

Someday your wish

                    A
Will come true when your first baby's born

              D
And you'll cherish every kiss

                 E      F#m
And wonder how you could love something more


Chorus:


        D
Pink painted walls

          A
Your face in my locket

Your daddy and me

Your tiny back pocket

Mama's first love
