Fascinating Aida - Look Mummy No Hands

      Em    G    D C  C  Bm   C  Bm x2
Em           G
Remember the fair, Ma
D             C
The two of us there, Ma
       C           Bm     C    Bm
By the merry-go-round?
  Em            G
I stood there entranced
       D              C
As the bright horses danced
     C         Bm    C   Bm
To a magical sound;
       Em                     C
Just sixpence for pleasure untold:
       Am                  C          D
And I rode in a whirl of scarlet and gold;
G                 D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
      Am                   D  
I'm riding the roundabout all by myself;
G                D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
Am              D       
I called as I passed her,
G            Am
Faster and faster;
D                D              Am           Am 
"Hold on tight, darling!" she called out in fear;
      D                          Am            Em
But I laughed and pretended that I couldn't hear;
     D            D              Am
How careless we are when we're young.....
Em    G    D C  C  Bm   C  Bm x2
Em            G
Remember the years
       D              C
Of the sulks and the tears?
C       Bm      C       Bm
Do you recall?
Em           G
I hated you when
          D           C
You said "Be back by ten,"
C          Bm        C    Bm
I knew it all;
        Em                       C
Always asking to know what I'd done;
         Am                    C          D
When as far as I knew, I was just having fun;
G               D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
    Am                  D
I know how to take good care of myself;
G                D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
        Am         D
Please don't be a bore,
G                  Am
'Cause I know the score;
D                  D       Am          Am
She tried to warn me, but I wouldn't heed her;
 D              Am          Em
I was grown up, I didn't need her;
        D          D             Am
How careless we are when we're young.....
Em    G    D C  C  Bm   C  Bm x2
Em            G
Remember the daughter
    D             C
And all that you taught her?
       C           Bm      C   Bm
She's grown up at last;
        Em           G
With a child of her own
       D         C
She struggles alone
        C              Bm     C    Bm
As the years all rush past;
     Em                                  C
But now you're not there to answer her calls;
            Am                         C
You're not there to catch her as she stumbles
      D
and falls;
G               D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
    Am               D  
I'm having to do it all by myself;
G                D
Look, Mummy, no hands;
  Am        D
I used to dismiss you,
G           Am
Now I just miss you;
      D             D               Am   
As my child grows away from me, I feel my
       Am
heart sinking;
         D                          Am
Then I look back and smile, and I find
          Em
myself thinking
       D      D                 Am                 
How careless we are when we're young.....
