This song is in E, but the shape of the bass line is really prominent (1-6-4-1.
I find that it sounds better if you put the capo on the fourth fret and use the chords below.
All F chords should be barred for the same reason.
Intro: C-am-F(bar)-C
C am
She's close to God, I'm sure of that
F(barred) C
She sits him down, and they have a chat
C am
She asks for sunshine, and he agrees
F am
You see, for her, He'd do anything
CHORUS (short):
C am
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
F am
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
C am
She is a monkey, and I'm her tree
F C
And now she's climbing all over me
C am
Swinging on my vines dancing on my limbs
F am
Her monkey sounds sound like angel's hymns
Chorus (full):
C am
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
F am
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
C am
mmm mmm mmm mmm ooo oooo ooo oooh
F am
You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
C am
She is an angel, she is an imp
F C
She's got my big toe, and her mother's lips
C am
She gives fishy kisses, and great big bear hugs
F am
42 pounds of pure love
