Now (B)I’m

start ing to (Em7)see

may be it’s got (Em7)noth ing to do with me.

(B)Fa thers, be good to your (Em7)daugh

(B)Daugh ters will love like you do.

(B)Girls be come (E7)lov ers who (Em7)turn in to moth (D)ers.

So (B)moth ers, be good to your (Em7)daugh ters, (D6)too.

(Bm)Oh,

It’s the same she’s been stand ing in

(Em7)since (D)the (Bm)day
