A                         G
When I was a child, my world extended
        G/E                    E
just as far as my mother could see
     A                           G
and sometimes I'd ask if I could go
       G/E              E
to the park, across the street
    A                       G
I'd sit on the freshly mown lawn and watch
    A                      G
the neighborhood carrying on I'd watch
    D
and listen and look
      A
for a telltale sign
        Bm                  E
of that beautiful friend of mine

    A            F#m       Bm     Bm7
The man with the horse and wagon
    D                    A
the one who comes by at noon day
    A            F#m       Bm     Bm7
I'd wait for the horse and wagon
   D                A
so I could hear him say....
F#m
Apples, Peaches, big white pears,
                               D
blue strawberries, watermelon, cherries...
      F#m                   E     F#m      E
and a flower for your young girls hair.

A                     E
