Tuning is EBEAC#F# - this may look compliicated, but essentially it's a Capo on the 2nd fret, but leaving
the bottom E string open. You need a certain type of Capo to do this (like a Schubb or a G7), but it's a great
tuning to learn and works well for many songs containing D shapes at the second fret.

[Verse 1]
Asus4
Aunt Clara kept her Bible right next to the phone
G Dsus2
In case she needed a quote, while she talked to someone
Asus4
In my memory she smiles while the blessing is said
G Dsus2
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
Asus4
She says I'll grow up big if I eat all my roast
G Dsus2
I'll still believe in heaven but I won't believe in ghosts anymore
Asus4 G Dsus2
I'll put away childish things, I'll put away childish things
[Verse 2]
Asus4
Every other weekend, age of thirteen
G Dsus2
With my fishin pole and my Field and Stream
Asus4
Ridin back home on the Trailways bus
G Dsus2
I looked out the window til I saw too much
Asus4
And I called my parents by their own first name
G Dsus2
I played in the alley, but I didn't play the game anymore
Asus4 G Dsus2
I put away childish things, I put away childish things
[Chorus]
Bm G
The wolves howl all night long
D A
They won't stop and they won't go home
Bm G D A
Beneath my window they run
Bm G
And probably it'll be alright
D A
If I keep it locked up tight and
Em7 G Dsus2
Wait til daylight comes

Asus4
Now my boy goes like a house on fire
G Dsus2
He'll never burn out and he'll never retire
Asus4
And I remember when I used to think like that
G Dsus2
When I was young and the world was flat
Asus4
But I'm 40 some years old now and man I don't care
G Dsus2
All I want now is just a comfortable chair
Asus4
And to sell all my stock and live on the coast
G Dsus2
I dont believe in heaven but I still believe in ghosts
Asus4 G
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things,
Asus4 G Dsus2
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things
[Chorus]
Bm G
The wolves howl all night long
D A
They won't stop and they won't go home
Bm G D A
Beneath my window they run
Bm G
And probably it'll be alright
D A
If I keep it locked up tight and
Em7 G Dsus2
Wait til daylight comes
Em7 G Dsus2
If I wait til daylight comes
