[Verse 1]
[D]Rock -a -bye [G]man,
[A]old Sunday chair
[D]Sang me a song,
[E]was[Em] a long tim[G]e ba[A]ck there
[D]I sat on his lap[G], sure felt good to be
[D]Only [G]a c[E]hild on m[G]y papa's
[D]knee[Asus4][D][Asus4]
Now [D]papa would [G]say a [A]little [Asus4]off -key
[D]But it filled me with [Em]feelings
of [Asus4]sweet harmony
[D]Now I'd like to [G]get that [A]old tune again
[D]And roc[Bm]k to and fro in [E]lul[G]laby lan[D]d
[Em]Doo -doo -doo -doo -doo -doo -[A]doo
[G]Papa would [D]moan,
[Bm]what takes me [E]back to [G]my
childhood [D]home?
[Em]Doo -doo -doo -doo -doo [Asus4]-doo,
[G]sweet [D]harmony,
[Bm]only a [E]child on [Asus4]my papa's[D] knee.
[G][A][D][Bm][E][G][D][Asus4][A][Asus4]
Now [D]sometimes alone,
[G]well I r[Asus4]eminisce[A]
[D]Surrender my thoughts b[Em]y
the [Asus4]loved ones I miss[D]
I was so young[G], still my m[D]emory
Won't [Bm]let me forget
[E]how my pap[G]a got me[D]
[Em]Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, [Asus4]doo, doo
[G]Papa would [D]moan
[Bm]Oh, it takes me [E]back to [G]my childhood h[Em]ome
[D]Do [Em]-do -do -do -do -do -do[Asus4]
Sweet [G]harmony[D]
[Bm]Only a [D]child [E]on my [Asus4]property
