[Verse 1]
G     G          D      D
Jesus once was a little child,
  C      D          G      G
A little child like me;
    G      G      D      D
And he was pure & meek & mild,
     C      D     G         G
As a little child should be.

[Chorus 1]
C    C     G    G
So, little children,
C       C     D    D
Let's you and I
G   G     C    G
Try to be like him,
G    D    G
Try, try, try.

[Verse 2]
   G         G      D        D
He played as little children play
    C        D        G        G
The pleasant games of youth;
       G         G            D       D
But he never got vexed if the game went wrong,
       C       D        G     G
And he always spoke the truth.

[Chorus 2]
C    C     G    G
So, little children,
C       C     D    D
Let's you and I
G   G     C    G
Try to be like him,
G   D    G
Try, try, try.
G   D    G
Try, try, try.
