(G) And with the (G/B) slap of a hand (C), he had (D/F#) landed as an (G) only son (G/B) (C) (D/F#) (G)
His (Em) mother and father said what a (D6) lovely boy
We'll (Cmaj7) teach him what we learned
Oh (D6) yes, just what we learned
We'll (Em) dress him up warmly and we'll (D6) send him to school
(Cmaj7) Teach him how to fight and be (B7sus4) nobody's (B7) fool

   (A7sus4) Oh, what a (A7) lonely (C) boy
   (Dsus4) Oh, what a (D) lonely boy

(G/B) (C) (D/F#) (G) 

In the summer of sixty-three, his mother brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger than you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how, could his parents have lied
When they said he was the only son
He thought he was the only one

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOLO

He left home on a winter day nineteen seventy-nine
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up and she married a man
She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool
