 C                             
  Pretty child come here to me,
 
 Listen to my story
 G                         C    
  Won't you sit down on my knee?
 Your eyes are like your mother's,
 
 And your mother's mother's
 G                          C  
  Deeper than the deep blue sea
 
 F                 C           
  All them girls I used to love
 G                 C                      
  By the fire, all alone I sit dreaming of
 F                 C           
  All them girls I used to hold
 G                       C   
  I made their love turn cold

 C                          
  These old bones are aching
 
 These old hands are shaking
 G                     C   
  Lord I can't see the page
 
 Sing me the song I taught you
 
 Fetch my wine and water
 G                         C        
  Never thought I'd reach this stage
 
 F                 C           
  All them girls I used to know
 G                  C                   
  Like a fool acting smart I let them go
 F                 C             
  All them girls a long time gone
 G                  C   
  I lost them one by one

 F                        C            
  All them girls with their creamy skin
 G                     C                         
  What I'd give just to have one in my arms again
 F                    C            
  Oh my girl when you start to play
 G                     C    
  Don't give your heart away
 
 F                 C           
  All them girls I used to kiss
 G                   C                          
  I don't know how my days all came down to this
 F                 C           
  All them girls I used to hold
 G                  C        
  I made their love turn cold
 
 F                 C               
  Oh my girl when you start to play
 G                  C       
  Don't give your heart away
