Verse 1:

C                     G            G7
Child on the green what's that you do

               C          F        G            C
I'm turning daisies to chains and mum their for you

                  F          G          Am
But mum I'm just playing so why do you cry

    C                      G             C
My flowers are saying I'm glad you came by

Chorus:

 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow

     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know

     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try

 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why

Verse 2:

C                     G            G7
Child you are late where have you been

     C          F                G            C
Your dinner is burned and your clothes are unclean

          F         G              Am
I wasn't surprised to find she was wild

    C                      G        C
but puzzled some when she suddenly smiled

Chorus:

 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow

The more that you ask the more you shall know

     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try

 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why

Verse 3:

C                     G              G7
Child you are lost sometimes we act strange

        C          F            G       C
But you must understand we may suddenly change

                  F          G          Am
It's just human nature and when you are grown

       C                        G               C
You'll sometimes be strange with a child of your own

Child as you grow questions will flow

     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know

     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try

 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why


C                         G              G7
She spoke and I listened then went of to bed

         C          F        G              C
But I'll always remember the words that she said

                  F          G          Am
It's been twenty years I've a child on my knee

    C                      G             C
I've just told my son wht my mum said to me

Child as you grow questions will flow

     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know

     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try

 C                     G          C
Finding it'S reason by asking me why
