Song For Sammy Ukulele chords by Missy Higgins

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
      A
This is the first time
                Gmaj7sus2     A
That I've ever loved anything more than life itself
                Gmaj7sus2
I never knew my heart could expand to this size


       A
This is the first time
                 Gmaj7sus2
That I've ever jumped out of my head and left it behind
    A                 Gmaj7sus2
And I don't think that I wanna rush back inside

Chorus:
      Esus4      F#m         D
How can it be his little hands grew inside of me?
     Esus4          A
I never made anything so perfectly


Verse 2:
       A
This is the first time
                Gmaj7sus2       A
That I've ever seen beauty in dust caught by the sunlight
             Gmaj7sus2
Falling around us in the quiet

        A
This is the first time
               Gmaj7sus2             A
That I haven't been able to keep out all of the pain that goes on
                  Gmaj7sus2
'Cause every man now is somebody's son


Chorus:
      Esus4       F#m        D
How can it be those little toes grew inside of me?
    Esus4          A
I never made anything so perfectly


Bridge:
       Dm          A
Oh, but the nightmares, they don't stop
        Dm
The ones where I can't find you
                A  Asus4 A
Or I've left you alone in the dark
       D
And I run, screaming
                F#m        D
Shouting, "Where is my baby? Where has my baby gone?"
       Esus4           A
Without him, I simply could never go on


Verse 4:
       A
This is the end
              Gmaj7sus2   A
And also the beginning of everything we are
                  Gmaj7sus2
We were one, then two, now we are three


Chorus:
      Esus4      F#m        D
How can it be his little heart grew inside of me?
          Esus4       F#m  Gmaj7sus2
There's so much to lose now, it's terrifying
          Esus4           A
But look what we made, isn't he just perfect?
