Little Boy
   D               
When you are a baby,
               G
and ten months old
                  D
Everything and anything
               G     D
You just grab a-hold of


When you're a little boy        
             G
Just turned four
               D
You can't get enough
           G       D
And can't get no more

                        
When you're a little older
                 G
And just turned eleven
                 D
Begin to think about
            G       D  
People that go to heaven

                         
When you are a young man,
              G
Just turning twenty
               D
Makes it lot harder
             G        D
If you're not getting any

When you turn forty
You are getting on up there
You don't know how but
You keep getting somewhere

When you turn eighty
Getting to be an old man
Anything is good
Cause you're getting what you can
