G+G    D MajorD      G+G            G7G7      C majorC
I remember I wasn't much older than four - maybe five, at the most

  A minorAm             D MajorD              G+G  D MajorD

  G+G      D MajorD       G+G             G7G7       C majorC
our mother'd be searching for schoolbags and combing our hair the wrong way

    A minorAm           D MajorD                        G+G
As she buttered our toast and buttoned our coats, here's what my mother would say

Chorus

  G+G     D MajorD     G+G           G7G7     C majorC

    A minorAm              D MajorD               G+G  D MajorD
But he thought no-one there would be carin?, for he?d been so long away

  G+G      D MajorD       G+G           G7G7     C majorC
To stop a tear drop in his coffee, he gave his old whiskers a tug

    A minorAm            D MajorD
And I knew that he?d give all he needed to live

               G+G
For a big welcome-home-again hug

There?s a doctor who lives out in China, a master of medical arts

   A minorAm            D MajorD               G+G   D MajorD
They tell me that there is no finer in curing all defective parts

  G+G      D MajorD      G+G          G7G7     C majorC
He says that the very best treatment - the only truly safe drug

And when Adam was cast from the garden and feeling that life was unfair

  A minorAm            D MajorD                  G+G   D MajorD
his temper was starting to harden when Eve said ?I've nothing to wear?

  G+G      D MajorD       G+G            G7G7     C majorC
But God in his mercy looked kindly, He gave his wide shoulders a shrug
