This song is in E, but the shape of the bass line is really prominent (1-6-4-1.
I find that it sounds better if you put the capo on the fourth fret and use the chords below.
All F chords should be barred for the same reason.
Intro: --F(bar)-
She's close to God, I'm sure of that
(barred)
She sits him down, and they have a chat
She asks for sunshine, and he agrees
You see, for her, He'd do anything
CHORUS (short):
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
She is a monkey, and I'm her tree
And now she's climbing all over me
Swinging on my vines dancing on my limbs
Her monkey sounds sound like angel's hymns
Chorus (full):
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
She is an angel, she is an imp
She's got my big toe, and her mother's lips
She gives fishy kisses, and great big bear hugs
42 pounds of pure love
Bridge:
[] []
Then one day she'll be seventeen, feelin' too big for her home
[]
Seems she was just only 3, oh how our children they grow
CHORUS:
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
Then one day she'll be 33, maybe with a child of her own
Seems she was just 17, oh how our children they grow
Piano Transition: C - am - F
He'll ask for sunshine, and she'll agree
You see for him, she'd do anything
He is her child, the center of her world
She is his mother... my little girl
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
Enjoy. I don't care where you copy and paste this.
