I was a child
D Gm
There were trees, life was mild
A# Gm
We would run in the grass of our own
D Gm
Backyard
D Gm
Mr. Green sold his plums
D Gm
Across the street, he would leave a sign
A# Gm
Please leave 25p in the box
F A#
To the side, what a sight
F A#
All the kids passing by
D Gm
On their cycling bikes
D Gm
And to school they would ride
A#
I would learn soon
Gm
That I would learn to
( A Asus )
D Gm
Every day around five
D Gm
A cup of tea to warm inside
A# Gm
It reminded us all that a friend
F A#
Was close by anytime
F A#
Neighbors lending an eye
D Gm
To ensure you were fine
D Gm
Love was meant to be kind
A#
I would learn soon
Gm
That I would love too
( A# A# Gm Am ) (2x)
F A#
And as time passes by
F A#
Leaving all this behind
D Gm
Our sweet home now revives
D Gm
Still in me it resides
D Gm
And it always will shine
A#
I would learn soon
Gm
That I would leave too
( D )
