 Oh this soEn of mine I Dadd9lovEe so well

 And C♯mall Ethe toil it Dadd9takEes

 I’d gEive to him a gC♯m7arden

 and kDeep it clear of snEakes

 But the G♯mone thing he most treaAsures

 Is to mBake his own misC♯mtakes - ohhh F♯m

 He goes chaErging on the cDadd9lifEfs of life

 A rC♯mecklEess mountainDadd9eerE

 I could heElp him not to sC♯m7tumble

 And he’d sBtill refuse to C♯mhear - ohhh F♯m

 Once the G♯m7oak begins to C♯mgrow

 And you cG♯mannot G♯m7close your C♯m7heart

 That the hG♯mardest pAart C♯mof loBve

 Is the letting Ego

 But wG♯mhen I tried to hAold it

 It would pBeck and scratch my cC♯mhest

 Till I let itF♯m go

 And I waEtched it fly Dadd9awaEy from me

 With its bC♯mrighEtened self reDadd9solEve

 And pEart of me was cC♯m7ursing

 I had helDped it grow so stErong

 And I fG♯meared it might go huAngry

 And I feBared it might go wC♯mrong - ohhhF♯m
