Verse 1
(G major) Dirty old street all slushed up
in the rain and snow (C major)
Little boy and his ma (D major) shivering outside a
rundown music store window (G major) (D major)
That night on top (G major) of a Christmas tree
shines one beautiful star (C major) (A minor)
And lying (G major) underneath a brand- (D major)
new Japanese guitar
(G major)
Verse 2
(D major)
I remem (G major) ber in the morning, ma,
hearing your alarm clock ring (C major)
I'd lie in bed and listen to you gettin'
(A minor) ready for work (C major) (D major)
The sound of your makeup
case on the sink (G major) (D major)
And the ladies (G major) at the office, all lipstick,
perfume and rustlin' skirts (C major) (A minor)
And how proud (G major) and happy you always
looked (D major) walking home from work
(G major)

Verse 3
(D major)
If pa's (G major) eyes were windows into a world
so deadly and true (C major)
You couldn't stop (D major) me from looking but you
kept me from crawlin' through (G major) (D major)
And if it's a funny (G major) old world, mama,
where a little boy's wishes come true (C major) (A minor)
Well I got a few (G major) in my pocket and
a (D major) special one just for you
(G major)
Verse 4
(D major)
It ain't no phone (G major) call on Sunday,
flowers or a mother's day card (C major)
It ain't no house (D major) on a hill with a
garden and a nice little yard (G major) (D major)
I got my hot (G major) rod down on Bond Street,
I'm older but you'll know me in a glance (C major) (A minor)
We'll find us a little (G major) rock 'n roll bar and (D major) baby we'll go

Pullin' me (D major) up on the couch to do

(G major)

Last night (G major) we all sat around laughing at
