Verse 1
Hello,
Mrs.
(E major) J.
How are you?
Mrs.
J., anything wrong?
I had it all worked (E minor) out.
With one more baby I could have managed,
(E major) but not with two.
The welfare have already
been on to me.
(E minor) Twins?
You're expecting twins? (E major) (E minor)
How (E major) quickly (D major) an idea (E minor) planted can take
root and grow into a plan. (C major)
The thought (E minor) conceived in this (D major) very room grew, (Esus4)
(E minor) as surely as a seed in a mother's womb. (E major)
Give one to me. (B major)
Please,
Mrs.
Johnston, please.
Are you that desperate to have a baby?
Each day I look out from (F sharpsus4) this win (B major) dow,
I see him with his friends, (F sharpsus4) I hear him (B major) call.
I rush down, (Gdim) but as I fold my arms around (B major) him,
he's gone.
(Gdim) Was he ever (B flatdim) there at all? (B major)
I've dreamed of all the places (F sharpsus4)
I would (B major) take him
The games we'd play,
(F sharpsus4) the stories I would (B major) tell
The jokes (Gdim) we'd share,
the clothing I would make (B major) him
I reach (Gdim) out , but (B flatdim) as I do,
he fades away. (B major) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
(D major) If my child was raised (B minor) in
a (D major) palace like this (B minor) one,
He (D major) wouldn't have to worry (B minor) where
his (D major) next meal was coming (B minor) from
His (E minor) clothing would be supplied by
(A major) George
Henry
Lee
(D major) He'd (A major) have (D major) all his own toys (B minor)
and a (D major) garden to play (B minor) in
He could (D major) make too much noise (B minor) without
the (D major) neighbours complain (B minor) ing
Silver trays (E minor) to take meals on
A (A major) bike with both wheels on
Yes
An (D major) (A major) d he'd (D major) sleep every
night (B minor) in a (D major) bed of his own
(B minor) He wouldn't (D major) get into fight (B minor) s,
he'd leave matches (D major) alone
(B minor) And (E minor) you'd never find him
eff (A major) ing and blinding
Never!
And (D major) when he grew up, (B minor)
he could nev (D major) er be told
(B minor) To (D major) stand and queue up (B minor) for
hours on (D major) end at the door
He'd (E minor) grow up to be a (A major) credit to me
To (C major) you? (F major)
Yes, (D minor) but I would (F major) still be able
to see him (D minor) every day, wouldn't
I?
(G minor) Oh, of course you would.
And (C major) you'd look after him,
wouldn't you? (Asus4)
I'd keep him warm (D major) in the (B minor) winter
An (D major) d cool when it shines (B minor)
I'd (D major) pull out his splinters
(B minor) Without (D major) making him (B minor) cry
I'd (E minor) always be there if his
dream (A major) became a nightmare
(B minor) My (D major) child (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
(D major) My (B minor) child (D major) (B minor)
(D major) My child (B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major)
