Got ta hold on eas y as I (G)let

You’ve had me wrapped a round your fin ger since the (F)day you were born.

You’re (Dm7)beau ti ful, ba by, from the (F)out

side in.

(C)Chase (Dm7)your dreams, but al ways know the road that ’ll (Gsus)lead you home a gain.

(Am)Go on, take on this ol’ world, but to (F)me, you know you’ll al ways be

(E)my

When (C)you were in trou ble, that crook ed lit tle smile could melt my heart of stone.

Now, look at you, I’ve turned a round and you’ve al most grown.

But some (C)times you’re a sleep, I whis per I love you in the (G)moon light at your door.

As I (Dm7)walk a way, I hear you say,

“Dad dy, love you more.”

You’re (Dm7)beau ti ful, ba by from the (F)out

But I (Em7)won’t say yes to him un less I know
