It was late one Friday he pulled in out of the dark
       GHe (320003@1)was tall and handsome; first she
         Dtook (xx0232@1)his order, then she took his heart 

They bought a house on the hillside
                               BmWhere (x24432@1)little feet soon would run
         DFrom (xx0232@1)small things, mama
A (x02220@1)                   DBig (xx0232@1)things one day come

       GOh (320003@1)but love is fleeting
     Dit's (xx0232@1)sad but true
              GBut (320003@1)when your heart is beating
    AYou (x02220@1)don't wanna hear the news
    DShe (xx0232@1)packed her bags and 

with a Wyomie County real estate man
        GShe (320003@1)ran down to Tampa
        DIn (xx0232@1)and "El Dorado Grande"

She wrote back, "Dear Mama
                             BmLife (x24432@1)is just heaven in the sun
     DFrom (xx0232@1)small things, mama
A (x02220@1)                   DBig (xx0232@1)things one day come"
