[Verse 1]

C          Bb                F  
Baby, baby brush the dust of 
                 C
youth from off your shoulder
  C                  Bb      
Because the years of threading 
          F              C
daisies lie behind you now
C               Bb           
Don't return to fields of green 
         F               C
where rainbow secrets were told
C                 Bb             
Place your ragged doll with all 
   F                   C
the toys and paints and beads
Gm                           
I will show you gain where the 
  F            C
winner never wins


[Chorus 1]

Bb       F         C
Let your hair hang down
Bb       F          C
Wear the dress your Mother wore
Continues after the ad
Bb     F       C
Let me sleep beside you
F                       C
Du du du du du du du du dum dum
F     C
Du du dum


[Verse 2]

C              Bb            F  
Lock away your childhood and 
            C
throw away the key
    C                   Bb        
For now the streets and city 
       F                 C
sounds will burn your eyes as coals
C                   Bb           
You shall drink the oldest wine 
   F                 C
and velvet skies will linger
C               Bb             F
Child, you're a woman now your 
                  C
heart and soul are free
Gm                             F 
I will hold a lighted lamp and we
              C
 shall walk together


[Bridge]

     Bb                  C        
Your darkened eyes close free but 
     Bb               C
your lips are void of mystery
F              Eb          Bb   
You could not imagine that it 
           F
could happen this way...could you


[Horns]

C  Bb  F  C
C  Bb  F  C


Gm                              F
I will give you dreams and I'll 
                     C
tell you things you'd like to hear


[Chorus]

Bb       F         C
Let your hair hang down
Bb       F          C
Wear the dress your Mother wore
Bb     F       C
Let me sleep beside you
F                       C
Du du du du du du du du dum dum
F     C
Du du dum
Bb     F       C
Let me sleep beside you
