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
