Picking up Pebbles - Cornelia
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
D G
Watching the tide come in
C
I used to do the same sweet things
D G
What pleasures it did bring
[Chorus]
G D
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
G
Watching the white surf carry them all back to me
D
But now it's all over I've grown up it don't seem the same
G
The things in my childhood I know are all just a game
[Bridge]
G D
To sit in my bed and watch the stars
C D G
High up in the sky
G D
To say my prayers and off to sleep
C D G
And then to wave them goodbye
[Chorus]
G D
Wouldn't it be nice if clocks could be turned back in years
G
Just to relive the good times and all of the cheer
D
Oh but it brings joy to see them in looking so gay
G
How I wish I could go back to my childhood days
[Verse 2]
G C
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
D G
Watching the tide come in
C
I used to do the same sweet things
D G
What pleasures it did bring
[Outro]
G D
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
D G
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
G D
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
