Jackson Browne – Only Child (Ukulele)

F
Boy of mine

        F/A              Bb        A/C#
As your fortune comes to carry you down the line

        Dm           Am/C      Bb
And you watch as the changes unfold

        Dm             Am/C                Bb
And you sort among the stories you've been told

        F             A/C#                Dm
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find

        Bb                                    Bb/C
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold

          Bb
Take good care of your mother

            F
When you're making up your mind

           Dm               Am              C
Should one thing or another take you from behind

           Dm                 F/C         
Though the world may make you hard and wild

       Bb               F
And determine how your life is styled

            Dm                C               G7/B    Bb
When you've come to feel that you're the only child

          Bb                    F
Take good care of your brother

Bb
Let the disappointments pass

F
Let the laughter fill your glass

         Dm             C          Bb
Let your illusions last until they shatter

Bb
Whatever you might hope to find

 F                      Dm
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind

 F                                   C
There won't be many that ever really matter

              Bb
But take good care of your mother

      F  
And remember to be kind

         Dm              Am                  C
When the pain of another will serve you to remind

               Dm                  F/C
That there are those who feel themselves exiled

   Bb               F
On whom the fortune never smiled

      Dm                C                  G7/B    Bb
And upon whose life the heartache has been piled

             Bb
They're just looking for another

       F
Lonely child

    Bb                 Bdim
And when you've found another soul

    F/C    A/C#       Dm
Who sees into your own

          Bb                  F 
Take good care of each other
