Elvis Presley - My Boy chords
Start Jamming...
You're sleeping [C#m] son, I know, [A] but really this [Bm] can't wait.
I wanted to [F#m] explain
Before it gets [Bm] too late
We're mother [G] and me
Love this [F#m] finally died.
This is no [Em] happy home, but God knows [F#] how I tried
Because [Bm] you're my [Em] boy
You are [A] my life
[D] And if [G#] I stay I stay [C#] because
[F#]
[D]
It's hard to [C#m] understand
Why did we [Bm] ever start?
We're more like [F#m] strangers now
each acting [Bm] out a part
I
Have [G] left I've cried I've lost [F#m] ever again
Taking all [Em] I can take
I'll stay [F#] here just to say
[Bm]
[Em] My boy
You are [A] my life, my pride, [D] my joy
And if [G#] I stay I stay [C#] because
[F#] My boy
[D]
Sing it boy
You [A] haven't heard a word
Perhaps [Bm] it's just as well.
I spoil your [F#m] little dreams
Why put [Bm] you through the hell?
Life is no [G] fairy tale and one day you will [F#m] know
But now you're just a [Em] child
I'll stay [F#] here and watch you grow
[Bm] Because you're my boy
[Em] My boy
Yes [A] you are my life, my pride, [D] my joy
And [G#] if I stay I [C#] stay because
[F#] My boy
Yes because [Bm] you're all I have
[Em] Yes you are [A] my life, my pride, [D] my joy
And if [G#] I stay I stay [C#] because
[F#] My boy
Yes [Bm] because you're
[Em] [A] all I have
Yes you are my [D] life, my pride, my joy
And [G#] if I stay I stay [C#] because
My boy
