Tiny Broken Heart

A  D  A  E  A  D  A  E  A

A                                 
He was just a little farm lad, so 
D
busy at play
         A                       
With his little play mate outside 
     E
the gate.
         A                       
Well, he stopped to watch a truck 
          D
that was parking next door
       A           E         A
At the home of his tiny play mate.

E                              A
Then he saw his Daddy watchin' too
                          D     
As the men swiftly walked to the 
          E
Carter's door.
   A                            
He knew they were strangers that 
 D
came from the town,
A          E            A
Men he had never seen before.

They soon went to work when he heard
 his Daddy say
     A                     E
"Our neighbours are moving today."
 A                       D
"Oh no!" he cried, "dear God, don't 
let it be!
     A             E          A
They can't take my sweetheart away!"

 E                         A
"I know Dad you don't understand
                     D             
How a heart so young could conceive
   E
 a plan.
    A                        D
I'm only seven now, but it's just 
like you say,
A           E             A
Daddy, some day I'll be a man."

 A                              
"The man who owns the farm where 
      D
your play mates do live,
   A                            E
He told me it'd have to be this way.
    A                             
For winter time has come, and the 
D
work is all done,
       A            E        A
That's why they are moving today."

 E                              
"Let us buy the farm so they can 
 A
stay!
                          D        
And give him all the toys that dear
       E
 Santa gave!
    A                             
And give him all my pennies in my 
D
little piggy bank!
A               E                 
Pennies that my darlin' helped me 
A
save."
