[Ab] [Ebm] I was a [Ab] little nappy [Gb] headed boy, [Ab] [Gb] [Ab]
then my only [Ebm] worry was for [Ab] Christmas what would [Gb] be my toy.
[Ab] [Ebm] [Ab] [Bb]
Even [C] though we [Fm] sometimes would not [Db] get a [Abm] thing, [Bb]
we were [C] happy with [Fm] the joy the [Gb] day would bring.
[Ebm] Sneaking [Ab] out the [Ebm] back door, hanging [Ab] out with those [Gb] school drunks in the back.

Mama [C] gives you money [Fm] for [Abm] Sunday school.

You trade [C] your spark and [Fm] that, [F] you have to [Bb] turn this through.

Smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty [Gb] for your mom.

Need to [Ab] send you to [Ebm] the [Ab] principal's office [Gb] down the [Ab] [Gb] hall.
[Ab] You [Bb]
grow [C] up and learn [Ab] that kind of [Abm] thing ain't right.
[Bb]
But why [C] you aren't doing [Ab] it?
It's your fault, [Gb] it's all your wisdom [Ab] teeth.
