B A G F#

There was a boy whose name was Jim

B A G F#

His friends they were very good to him

B A G F#

They gave him tea and cakes and jam

B A G F#

And slices of delicious ham

G A G E

Oh mother, tell me more.

F#

Why'd ya have to leave me there

F#

Hanging in my infant air

Waiting

F#

You only have to read the lines

of scribbly black and ev'rything

E G

B A G F#

The Chief Defect of Henry King

B A G F#

Chewing little bits of string

B A G F#

At last he swallowed, some which tied

B A G F#

Itself in ugly knots inside

G A

Wondering and dreaming

G E

the words have different meanings

D A E

Yes they did

When tiptoe gives the telephone

F#

Some got the immediate aid

F# E G

Of London's Noble Choir Brigade

B A G F#

For all the time spent in that room

B A G F#

The doll's house darkness old perfume

B A G F#

And fairy stories held me high

B A G F#

On clouds of sunlight floating by

G A G E

Oh mother, tell me more.

D A E

Tell Me More....

E until end
