Em Am G D/F#
Just a little boy in the town, town, town
Dm7 F G C B(with lick 1)
Just a little boy with a frown, frown, frown.
Em Am G D/F#
In the afternoons he goes down, down, down
Dm7 F G C Em A
To the lonely room near the lost and found de-partment.
Dm7 Dm7/G
C C/B Am
There's a little boy in every man's heart
Cdim7 D#dim7 G Am7 G/B
Crying out, trying out.
C C/B Am
As he rushes in to hear the band start,
Cdim7 D#dim7 G F
So alone, in the crowd, in the crowd.
C B(with lick 1)
Em Am G D/F#
Just a little girl on her daddy's knee,
Dm7 F G C B(with lick 1)
Just remember when she was one, two, three.
Em Am G D/F#
In a little while she'll want to be free,

Dm7 F G C Em A
And your little girl will be seventeen to-morrow.
Dm7 Dm7/G
C C/B Am
There's a little girl in every daddy's heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7 G Am7 G/B
Dreaming eyes, scheming eyes.
C C/B Am
When she sings for you remember your part,
Cdim7 D#dim7 G F
Listen up, when she cries, when she sighs.

Dm7 Dm7/G
C C/B Am
There's a little child in everyone's heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7 G Am7 G/B
Needing love, needing love.
C C/B Am
There's a little child in everyone's heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7 G Am7 G/B
Needing love, needing love.

[lick 1]
after playing the B chord, play 2 single notes, F#, F, on E string to transition to the
Em chord. Just the E string is tabbed here: E:--2-1--|
==========================
[CHORDS]
D/F# 3xx232
Dm7/G 3xx211
C/B x22010
Cdim7 xx1212
D#dim7 xx4545
G/B x20003
A quick music factoid - going from Cdim7 to D#dim7, as tabbed here, the chords are
actually interchangeable. In other words, Cdim7 is also D#dim7, and vice versa. And both are
also F#dim7, and Adim7. By notating the song as 2 different chords, going from Cdim7 to
D#dim7, is just a way to show a change. I could have just as well as left it only as Cdim7
or D#dim7.
