Just a little boy in the town, town, town
Just a little boy with a frown, frown, frown.
In the afternoons he goes down, down, down
To the lonely room near the lost and found de-partment.
There's a little boy in every man's heart
Crying out, trying out.
As he rushes in to hear the band start,
So alone, in the crowd, in the crowd.
Just a little girl on her daddy's knee,
Just remember when she was one, two, three.
In a little while she'll want to be free,
And your little girl will be seventeen to-morrow.
There's a little girl in every daddy's heart,
Dreaming eyes, scheming eyes.
When she sings for you remember your part,
Listen up, when she cries, when she sighs.
There's a little child in everyone's heart,
Needing love, needing love.
There's a little child in everyone's heart,
Needing love, needing love.
(REPEAT & FADE)
lick 1
after playing the B chord, play 2 single notes, F, F, on E string to transition to the
Em chord. Just the E string is tabbed here: E:--2-1--|
A quick music factoid - going from Cdim7 to Ddim7, as tabbed here, the chords are
actually interchangeable. In other words, Cdim7 is also Ddim7, and vice versa. And both are
also Fdim7, and Adim7. By notating the song as 2 different chords, going from Cdim7 to
Ddim7, is just a way to show a change. I could have just as well as left it only as Cdim7
or Ddim7.
