[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
My [D]little boy came
into the kitchen this [G]evening
while I was making [D]the supper
and he handed me a piece [A]of paper
he'd [D]been writing on.
After wiping my [A]hands on my apron,
I read [D]it and this [A]is what it [D]said.[G]
For mowing the lawn, fifty [C]pence
And for making my own bed this week,
ten pence
[D]For going to the shops, five pence
And for playing with little brother
while you went [A]shopping, five pence
[D]Tak[G]ing out the rubbish, ten[C] pence
And for get[G]ting a good report card,
50 pence
[D]And for a brush in [A]the yard,
[D]25 pen[A]ce[D]
Total load, [A]155
[D]While [G]I looked at him[D]
standing there [G]ex pecting it
[D]An d a thousand memories
[G]flushed through my mind
[D]So I picked up the pen
and turning the paper
Moreover, this is what I [G]wrote.
For the [C]nine months I carried you
Growing inside of me, no [D]charge
For the nights I sat [A]up with [D]you
Doctored you, [A]prayed for [D]you, no [G]charge
For [C]the time and the tears,
and the [G]cost through the years,
there's no [D]charge
When you add it all up,
the full cost of my love is no [G]charge
For the [C]nights filled with dread
and the worries ahead, there's no [D]charge
For advice and the knowledge
and the cost of your college, no [G]charge
For the [C]toys, food, and clothes,
and for [G]wiping your nose,
there's no [D]charge, son.
When you add it all up,
the full cost of my love is no [G]charge.
Well, when [D]he'd finished reading
his [G]eyes were full of tears
[D]and he looked up at me
and he said, [A]Mum, I [D]really do love [A]you.
Then he [D]took the pen
and in great big letters he [G]wrote,
When you [D]add it all up,
[A]the[D] cost of real love is no charge.
