Verse 1 

C          Bb                F                   C 
Baby, baby brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder 
  C                  Bb                F              C 
Because the years of threading daisies lie behind you now 
C               Bb                    F               C 
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told 
C                 Bb                F                   C 
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and paints and beads 
Gm                             F            C 
I will show you gain where the winner never wins 


Bb       F         C 
Let your hair hang down 
Bb       F          C 
Wear the dress your Mother wore 
Bb     F       C 
Let me sleep beside you 
F                       C 
Du du du du du du du du dum dum 
F     C 
Du du dum 


Verse 2 

C              Bb            F              C 
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key 
    C                   Bb               F                 C 
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals 
C                   Bb              F                 C 
You shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger 
C               Bb             F                  C 
Child, you're a woman now your heart and soul are free 
Gm                             F               C 
I will hold a lighted lamp and we shall walk together 


Bridge 

     Bb                  C             Bb               C 
Your darkened eyes close free but your lips are void of mystery 
F              Eb          Bb              F 
You could not imagine that it could happen this way...could you

I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'd like to hear 



Bb       F         C 
Let your hair hang down 
Bb       F          C 
Wear the dress your Mother wore 
Bb     F       C 
Let me sleep beside you

Du du du du du du du du dum dum 
F     C 
Du du dum 
Bb     F       C
