[Verse 1]
D
This is the story of a boy named Ted
       A             Am
If his mother said: "Ted, be good",
Em        G A |  D  |
 He would


[Verse 2]
D
She told him tales about his soldier dad
       A             Am
But it made her sad, then she'd cry
Em     G A | B C#  F#    |
 Oh my


[Bridge]
F#
Ted used to tell her, he'd be twice as good
       C#                   C#m
And he knew he could 'cause in his head
G#m       B C#
 He said:


{Chorus]
 F#                     B
"Mommy, don't worry now Teddy boy's here
Continues after the ad
E                   A
Taking good care of you
F#                      B
Mommy, don't worry your Teddy boy's here,
E             A       | D     A |  D     A |
Teddy's gonna see you through."


[Verse 3]
D
Then came the day she found herself a man
      A              Am
Teddy turned and ran far away
Em        G A |  D  |
 O.K.


[Verse 4]
D
He couldn't stand to see his mother in love
     A              Am
With another man he didn't know
Em     G A | B C#  F#    |
 Oh no


[Bridge]
F#
He found a place where he could settle down,
         C#           C#m
And from time to time in his head
G#m       B C#
 He said:


{Chorus]
 F#                     B
"Mommy, don't worry now Teddy boy's here
E                   A
Taking good care of you
F#                      B
Mommy, don't worry your Teddy boy's here,
E             A       D
Teddy's gonna see you through."


[Chorus]
          F#                      B
She said: "Teddy, don't worry now mommy is here
E                   A
Taking good care of you.
F#                      B
Teddy, don't worry your mummy is here,
E             A        | D     A | D     A |  D      A |
Mummy's gonna see you through."   (ooooh-ah  ooh-ooh)
