Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
Early early in the game
ch]G[/ch
I taught myself to sing and play
ch]Am[/ch
And use a little trickery
ch]G[/ch
On kids who never favored me
ch]Em[/ch
Those were years of crinoline slips
ch]D[/ch
And cotton skirts and swinging hips
ch]C[/ch
And dangerously painted lips
ch]G[/ch
And stars of stage and screen
ch]Em[/ch
Pedal pushers, ankle socks
ch]D[/ch
Padded bras and campus jocks
ch]C[/ch
Who hid their vernal equinox
ch]G[/ch
In pairs of faded jeans
ch]Am[/ch
And slept at home resentfully
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Coveting their dreams
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I look around and I wonder
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
How the years and I survived
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I had a mother who sang to me
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
An honest lullaby
ch]G[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
Yellow, brown, and black and white
ch]G[/ch
Our Father bless us all tonight
ch]Am[/ch
I bowed my head at the football games
ch]G[/ch
And closed the prayer in Jesus' name
ch]Em[/ch
Lusting after football heroes
ch]D[/ch
Tough Pachuco, little Neroes
ch]C[/ch
Forfeiting my A's for zeroes
ch]G[/ch
Futures unforeseen
ch]Em[/ch
Spending all my energy
ch]D[/ch
In keeping my virginity
ch]C[/ch
And living in a fantasy
ch]G[/ch
In love with Jimmy Dean
ch]Am[/ch
If you will be my king, Jimmy, Jimmy
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I will be your queen
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I look around and I wonder
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
How the years and I survived
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I had a mother who sang to me
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
An honest lullaby
ch]Em[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
ch]Am[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Ay ay ay ay ay
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
I travelled all around the world
ch]G[/ch
And knew more than the other girls
ch]Am[/ch
Of foreign languages and schools
ch]G[/ch
Paris, Rome and Istanbul
ch]Em[/ch
But those things never worked for me
ch]D[/ch
The town was much too small you see
ch]C[/ch
And people have a way of being
ch]G[/ch
Even smaller yet
ch]Em[/ch
But all the same though life is hard
ch]D[/ch
And no one promised me a garden
ch]C[/ch
Of roses, so I did okay
ch]G[/ch
I took what I could get
ch]Am[/ch
And did the things that I might do
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
For those less fortunate
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I look around and I wonder
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
How the years and I survived
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Must have had a mother who sang to me
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
An honest lullaby
ch]G[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
Now look at you, you must be growing
ch]G[/ch
A quarter of an inch a day
ch]Am[/ch
You've already lived near half the years
ch]G[/ch
You'll be when you go away
ch]Em[/ch
With your teddy bears and alligators
ch]D[/ch
Enterprise communicators
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
All the tiny aviators head into the sky
ch]Em[/ch
And while the others play with you
ch]D[/ch
I hope to find a way with you
ch]C[/ch
And sometimes spend a day with you
ch]G[/ch
I'll catch you as you fly
ch]Am[/ch
Or if I'm worth a mother's salt
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I'll wave as you go by
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And if you look around and you wonder
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
How the years and you'll survive
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Honey, you've got a mother who sings to you
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Dances on the strings for you
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Opens her heart and brings to you
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
An honest lullaby
ch]Em[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
ch]C[/ch
Ay ay ay ay
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Ay ay ay ay ay
