C 
When I was just a little boy like you 
     C 
I wanted to do things the big boys do 
    F 
Wherever they went you knew they wouldn't let me go 
C 
And I got suspicious and I wanted to know 
      G 
I was bright in school but my future looked dim 
           C 
'Cause the big boys wouldn't let me party with them

Yes, yes - I didn't cry - yes, yes - and you know why

Yes, yes - I knew when and what 
C 
Yes, yes - no ifs, ands, or buts 
G                                  C 
.... I was looking for joy - yes, yes, yes, yes

All of the big girls with their to 
       C 
When I ask 'em what's happening, nobody knew

I didn't let a single week pass by 
         G  
Till the school dance when I first met you
