[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]You was a baby like I was once
Crying in the early morning
You was born in a manger Lord
Reid Memorial is where I was born
[Asus4]They wrapped You
in swaddling [A]clothes

[Verse 2]
Me they dressed in baby blue
[D]Well I was twelve years old
in the meeting house
I was listening the the old men pray
I was trying hard to figure out
What it was that they was
trying to [Bm]say
And [A]there You were in the [D]temple
[A]They said You weren't old enough
To know [D]the things You knew

[Verse 3]
Did You [G]grow up hungry
Did You grow up fast
Did the little girls giggle
when You walked past
Did You [D]wonder what it was
that made them laugh
And did they [Em]tell You stories
about the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say [A]stories like that make
a [Asus4]boy grow bold
[A]Stories like that make a man

[D]You was a boy like I was once

Did You [G]wrestle with a dog

Did You play beneath the
spray of a [Bm]wa ter hose

Did You [G]ever get scared
playing hide and seek
Did You try not to cry
