1. Remember the tune that your daddy would play,

                                                                                                - G

    when a pretty balloon could make you happy and gay, oh        Cindy,

      C

    right on his knees you were singing the song,

                                                                                            - G

    feeling really at ease, knowing where you belonged, oh        Cindy.

 

F

    He couldn’t stop you getting older,

C

    watched you growing to his shoulder,

G                                                      - C

    dreaming of his sunny days with       Cindy.

F

    But he felt with understanding,

C

    sunny days might soon be ending,

G                                                               C

    when rock’n roll would break into your life.

 

F                                                      - C

    Rock’n Roll will change his baby         to a lovely little lady,

G                                                             C

    someone else will come and call her Cindy.

F                                                     - C

    Rock’n Roll will see her dancing,      waking up and start romancing,

G                                                       C

    till the day when she would go away.

2. Now you’ve grown up with a girl of your own,

                                                                                            - G

    don’t forget what you’ve got, try to give a good home to        Cindy.

       C

    Play her a song as your daddy would do,

                                                                                                - G

    to make her happy and strong, whenever she’s blue, your       Cindy.

 

F

    You can’t stop her getting older,

C

    watch her growing to your shoulder,

G                                                           C

    dreaming of your sunny days with Cindy.

F

    But you feel with understanding,

C

    sunny days might soon be ending,

G                                                           C

    when Rock’n Roll will break into her life.
