This song can be played without capo, with capo on the 1st fret, or on the 2nd, depending on your vocal rage

 G+G
You-was a baby like I was once, You-was-cryin' in the early mornin'
You-was-born in a stable Lord, Reid Memorial is where I... was born
 A minorAm                               G+G
They wrapped You in swaddling clothes, Me they dressed in baby blue

 G+G
I-was twelve-years-old in the meeting house, listening to the old men pray
And I was tryin' hard to figure out, what it was that they was tryin' to say
 A minorAm                                          G+G
There You were in the temple, they said You weren't old enough to know the things You knew

        A minorAm
Well, did You grow up hungry?, did You grow up fast?, did the little girls giggle when You walked past?
     G+G
Did You wonder what it was, that made them laugh?
     A minorAm
[Did they tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
     D MajorD                                     G+G
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk straight]

 G+G
You was a boy like I was once, but was You a boy like me
Well, I grew up around Indiana, you grew up around Galilee
   A minorAm                                  G+G
And if I ever really do grow up, Lord I want to grow up and be just like You

     A minorAm
Did You wrestle with a dog and lick his nose?, did You play beneath the spray, of a water hose?
         G+G
Did You ever make angels in the winter snow?
     A minorAm
[Did they tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
     D MajorD                                     G+G
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk straight]

(whistling solo)
G+G  A minorAm  G+G

    A minorAm
Did You ever get scared, playing hide and seek?, did You try not to cry, when You scraped Your knee?
    G+G
Did You ever skip a rock across a quiet creek?

     A minorAm
[Did they tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
     D MajorD                                     G+G
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk straight]
    A minorAm                     G+G
