[Verse 1]
C                     G            G7Child on the green what's that you do

 C                     G          CFinding it's reason by asking me why

[Verse 2]

     C          F                G            CYour dinner is burned and your clothes are unclean
          F         G              AmI wasn't surprised to find she was wild

[Verse 3]
C                     G              G7Child you are lost sometimes we act strange
        C          F            G       CBut you must understand we may suddenly change
                  F          G          AmIt's just human nature and when you are grown
       C                        G               CYou'll sometimes be strange with a child of your own

         C          F        G              CBut I'll always remember the words that she said
                  F          G          AmIt's been twenty years I've a child on my knee
