[D]
[Bm] [D]
The little girl [Bm] she comes running home from school
She's [Em] lost her first public place
[B] She's so upset as she wipes away her tears
She [D] can't concentrate on her homework that night
[Bm] And finally when she gets her homework right
[Em] Her daddy knows that something's wrong
[D] But decides to leave the questions
Till later on
And later [Bm] on at the little girl's request
[Em] She'd go to bed early to rest
Like a weeping willow into her sleeping [D] pillow she'd cry
The little [B] girl is growing up
While her whole world [Em] is falling down
I wish this [G] hurting you could stop
[D] But she's only learning, learning
Her [Bm] daddy gets up late for work
He's [E] got a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth
[A] He's late, he's missed that train again
[D]
Lord, what a shame
And finally [B] when he gets to work
All his [Em] fears are delivered with one blow
The boss [A] says [D] with a smile
I'm sorry but you'll have to go
The little [Bm] girl is growing up
While her whole world [Em] is falling down
I wish this [D] hurting you could [B] stop
[Em] But she's [D] only learning, learning
The little [F#m] girl is growing [B] up
While her whole world [Em] is falling down
I wish this [D] hurting you could stop
[D] But she's only learning, learning

little [Bm] girl, she makes it to school
She meets up with [Em] a friend
[Bm] They [D] both pretend [A] they want to be

And [Bm] finally when she leaves home
She [Em] doesn't know what is wrong or right
[A] Should she [B] tell her mama?
