My boy (1974)
C G
Am
1. You‘re sleeping, son, I
know, but really, this can‘t wait,
Em Am
I wanted to explain before it
gets too late.
F Em
For your mother and me love
has finally died,
Dm E - E7
this
is no happy home, but God knows how I tried.
Am Dm G C
Because you‘re all I have, my boy, you are my life, my pride, my joy,
Am B7
E
and if I stay, I stay because of
you, my boy !
C G
Am
2. I know it‘s to understand,
why did we ever start,
Em Am
we‘re
more like strangers now, each acting out a part.
F Em
I‘ve laughed, I‘ve cried, I‘ve
lost every game,
Dm E
- E7
taken
all I can take, but I‘ll stay here just the same.
+ CHORUS
C G
Am
3. Sleep on, you haven‘t
heard a word, perhaps it‘s just as well.
Em Am
Why spoil your little dreams,
why put you through a hell ?
F Em
Life is no fairy tale, and one day you will
know,
Dm E
- E7
but
now you‘re just a child, I‘ll stay here and watch you grow.
+ CHORUS (2x) ….
(Elvis Presley)
