Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and

ending on the bass note.

As sweet as a plum (Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

It's quite easy to catch onto.)

And lovely as dawn

Rolling its tongue over its gums

Like tiger and me

As happy as could be

Sat out on the porch

 As the whole of the sky

Clouds quietly over

 And it starts to cry

Softly on my shoulder

 We don't want to grow up

 But we have to grow up

As sad as I am

I do understand

I do understand,

 It just makes me sad

My tiger my heart

We're growing apart

We're trying to be friends

 But it's hard sometimes

To be friends with something

 That eats butterflies

And pencil sharpeners

And i think it would be

Happier being free

My tiger my friend

My little godsend

I know someday we'll be happy again
