Tabbed by Rob Leyland


Intro: Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and ending on the bass note.

G5             E5
As sweet as a plum

C5             G5
And lovely as dawn

C5           G5               D5
Rolling its tongue over its gums

G5              E5
Like tiger and me

C5                 G5
As happy as could be

C5              D5
Sat out on the porch

       B5           C5
As the whole of the sky
A5               D5
Clouds quietly over

       B5         C5
And it starts to cry

A5               D5
Softly on my shoulder

         A5           D5
We don't want to grow up

       A5           D5
But we have to grow up

G5           E5
As sad as I am

C5         G5
I do understand

C5         G5
I do understand,

                 D5
It just makes me sad


G5           E5
My tiger my heart

C5              G5
We're growing apart

C5                   D5
We're trying to be friends

         B5        C5
But it's hard sometimes

A5                 D5
To be friends with something

     B5      C5
That eats butterflies

A5         D5
And pencil sharpeners

A5                   D5
And i think it would be

A5            D5
Happier being free

G5           E5
My tiger my friend

C5            G5
My little godsend

C5          G5                     D5
I know someday we'll be happy again
