Dave Cousins - When You Were A Child
[Intro]
C G Am F C
[Verse 1]
G Am
When you were a child you were a friend of mine
F C
And I loved you in my way
G Am
But though we grew apart, and I lost touch with you
F C G/B Am
It still seems like yesterday
[Chorus]
F
I haven't seen you in a long time
C G F Em Dm
Oh, but I bet you look the same way you always did
C G Am
When you were a child you were a friend of mine
F C
And I loved you in my way
[Verse 2]
G Am
When you were a child you used to paint for me
F C
And I loved you in my way
G Am
In time the paintings faded and were set aside
F C G/B Am
They have now been thrown away
[Chorus]
F
I haven't seen you in a long time
C G F Em Dm
Oh, but I bet you look the same way you always did
C G Am
When you were a child you used to paint for me
F C
And I loved you in my way
[Instrumental]
C G Am F C
[Verse 3]
G Am
When you were a child you used to laugh for me
F C
And I loved you in my way
G Am
But as the laughs turned silver they cost too much
F C G/B Am
You were far too grown to play
[Chorus]
F
Though I hadn't seen you in a long time
C G F Em Dm
Oh, I just knew you'd look the same way you always did
C G Am
When you were a child you used to laugh for me
F C
And I loved you in my way
