GROWING

Music and Words by Michael

Capo: 2nd fret

Intro:
(E)-(F#m)-(B)-(E)

(E)One day I was playing, I (F#m)like to jump and run.
I (B)didn't want to take a nap--(E)I was having fun!
Daddy said, "You need to rest (A)if you want to grow!"
He's so (E)big I'm (B)sure he ought to (E)know!

Chorus:
(E)Growing, (F#m)growing everyday.
(B)If you want to grow fast, (E)this is the way.
Growing (F#m)bigger than before-
(B)Every hour that you sleep you (A)grow a little (E)more!

(E)-(F#m)-(B)-(E)

(E)Plants and flowers bow their heads,
So (F#m)when the sun goes down,
(B)They close up and go to sleep
Un(E)til the sun comes 'round.
And that's why in the morning
They (F#m)look so big and bright.
(E)They've been sleeping and (B)growing all the (E)night!

[Repeat chorus]

(E)Now when it's time to (F#m)nap I don't make a (B)peep.
I lie down and (E)close my eyes and go right to sleep.
But there's one thing that I can't understand at (A)all,
Why does Mommy take naps? She's already tall!(A)-(B)

[Repeat chorus]

(B)Every hour that you sleep you (A)grow a little (E)more!
