A haughty spirit goes before a fall

C                        G7 
Children call each other names 
                             C 
Children playing the grownup games 
                             E7 
And the things that's really sad 
   F                                          C

G7         C 
Loud proud children

From the cradle to the grave

I wish we could all behave like little children  
G7           C        G7             C 
God's little children sweet precious children 
G7           C        G7           C 
Pretty dirty children little bitty children
