#1:
E                                     D
She moves, she grooves, she hides the hours
D      D6            A               E
With a little bit of loving from her mother
E                        D
My little one, she never bothers
D                      A            E
about the things that worry you and me.

She sings this little song that flows along, it’s quite a song
D            A           E              B
I know she’s gonna be as free as yesterday
D             A            E              B7
and I know in my mind it’s gonna be that way

do wah, do wah - do wah, do da day

do wah, do wah - do wah, do da day
A           A/G#         B7                E  A E
this is the way tha' she blows her cares away

My little one you must be tired
     D6              A               E
with all the fun and games you had today
E                      D
I lie awake and dream about you
D                       A             E
And what you'll be when you're old as me.
