[C] [C/B] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
[C]Oh G[C/B]illia[Am]n, [F]you're up wit[G]h the sun [C]
And you've done o[C/B]ne hundred t[Am]hings before half [F]past nine [G][C]
By the time most fol[C/B]k are [Am]up [F]and g[G]one [C]
You'll be [C/B]start[Am]ing on one hundre[F]d and[G] one [C]
T[F]here's not enough hours in the [C]day [G][C]
T[F]o do al[C]l the things that she's[G] got to do [C]
[F]When the daylight fades [G]
And the night i[C]nvades[C/B] [Am]
[F]She's only just b[G]egun [C]
Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun
Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done
Gillian you work too hard
But don't try and slow her down She'll tell you
idleness is good for none, work's how I get my fun
iIdleness is good for none, work's how I get things done
Gillian, you're the one, you're the one
Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun
I'm trying to thank you now
For what I've become
But I've only just begun
Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son
Your blood is my blood
We are forever bound
You're the inspiration to the way I live my life
Gillian, if you weren't my mother
I'd make you my wife
