[Intro] (harmonica solo) Dmaj7 Em7/D D G D [Verse 1]

Dm     C     Am           F
I am a child, I'll last a while.

Dm           F            C              Em
You can't conceive of the pleasure in my smile.

Dm          C    Am           F
You hold my hand, rough up my hair,

Dm           Dm7             D
It's lots of fun to have you there.

[Chorus]

Dmaj7              Em7/D       D
I gave to you, now you give to me,

G                            D
I'd like to know what you've learned.

Dmaj7               Em7/D     D
The sky is blue and so is the sea.

Am7               C
What is the color, when black is burned?

Am7                 D
What is the color?

[Verse 2]

Dm        C   Am          F
You are a man, you understand.

Dm          F          C            Em
You pick me up and you lay me down again.

Dm           C     Am              F
You make the rules, you say what's fair,

Dm           Dm7             D
It's lots of fun to have you there.

[Chorus]

Dmaj7              Em7/D       D
I gave to you, now you give to me,

I'd like to know what you've learned.

Dmaj7               Em7/D     D
The sky is blue and so is the sea.

Am7               C
What is the color, when black is burned?

Am7                 D
What is the color?
