Shaney boy. Kevin Johnson
[G]Little boy you [C]seem to wake up e[D]arlier every m[G]orning
[G]Come running from your [C]bed to greet the [D]day
[G]With a pair of sleepy [C]eyes that could have [D]slept a little [G/]longer
[Em]But you've a t[C]housand [C/B]urgent [Am7]things you have to [D]say.
[C]And the morning passes [D]quickly in the [G]springtime [/Em]
and the [C]springtime brings such [Am7]fascinating [D7]games
[C]Puppy dogs and [D]chocolate frogs and[G] fishing lines[/Em]
[C/]and pretending t[C/B]hat you [C/Am7]didnt h[C/Gbass]ear your m[D7]ommy call your [G]name.
Shaney Boy your lunch is growing cold here on the table
and you have to eat these things to make you grow
and I know youre only scared that youll be missing out on something
but even busy people have to eat you know.
And the afternoon goes quickly when theres good times
and theres good times in the garden every day
Little friendly butterflies that flutter by
and a little friend to help you chase those butterflies away.
Shaney Boy those eyes of yours are looking kind of drowsy
and I know you never want the day to end
but just think if you close your eyes and lie back on your pillow
Wont be long before the mornings here again.
And the Morning passes quickly in our lifetime
and before you even notice that its gone.
So little boy I'm noticing the nice times now
Cos I know that little boys dont stay little boys for long
Repeat first part of first verse.
Thats it. 1st tab . Hope its useful to someone.
