[Verse 1]
C                     G            G7
Child on the green what's that you do
               C          F        G            C
I'm turning daisies to chains and mum their for you
                  F          G          Am
But mum I'm just playing so why do you cry
    C                      G             C
My flowers are saying I'm glad you came by

[Chorus]
 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow
     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know
     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try
 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why

[Verse 2]
C                     G            G7
Child you are late where have you been
     C          F                G            C
Your dinner is burned and your clothes are unclean
          F         G              Am
I wasn't surprised to find she was wild
    C                      G        C
but puzzled some when she suddenly smiled

[Chorus]
 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow
     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know
     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try
 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why

[Verse 3]
C                     G              G7
Child you are lost sometimes we act strange
        C          F            G       C
But you must understand we may suddenly change
                  F          G          Am
It's just human nature and when you are grown
       C                        G               C
You'll sometimes be strange with a child of your own

[Chorus]
 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow
     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know
     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try
 C                     G          C
Finding it's reason by asking me why

C                         G              G7
She spoke and I listened then went of to bed
         C          F        G              C
But I'll always remember the words that she said
                  F          G          Am
It's been twenty years I've a child on my knee
    C                      G             C
I've just told my son wht my mum said to me

[Chorus]
 G7           C    G7             C
Child as you grow questions will flow
     G7            C                      G
The more that you ask the more you shall know
     C      F             G7         Am
But ask of emotions it's useless to try
 C                     G          C
Finding it'S reason by asking me why

[Outro]
