Looking back on when I was a little nappy [Ebm]-headed boy

[Bb] Even [C] though we [F] sometimes would not get a [Bb] thing
[Bb] Sneaking out the back door Hang on to those [Gb] school jumpers of [Ab] mine

[Bb] Trying [C] your best to bring [Fm] the water [Abm] to your eyes
Thinking [C] it might stop [Fm] her from whipping [Bbm] you in half
My fistful of [Ab] days, good
[Ebm] Got [Bb] my own smoke, my fistful of days
[Ab] I _ [Ebm] _ [Bb] still go
My [Ebm] fistful of days, [Ab] good

Just don't tell him I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world

[C] Mama gives you money [Fm] for [F] Sunday school
[Bb] You trade [C] those for candy
[Fm] After [Bb] church is through Smoking cigarettes
Biting [Ab] something nasty

[Cm] You [Bb] just seem to do the principle topics
Oh, you know
[Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] You go [C] up and learn [Fm] that kind of [Abm] thing in life
[Bb] But while [C] you are doing it
[Fm] It's shrunk down [Gb] to size It's [Bb] okay Good
Got my own smoke, my fistful of days
