A (F7 E7 A)

I think I'd like to call you Mom
F#m B
'Cause you remind me of my mom
Bm
I'm gonna go put on my sailor suit
Dm E
And we'll go out on the town
A (F7 E7 A)
Why don't you let me call you that?
F#m B
You're acting so much like my mom
Bm
She didn't like it when I called her name
Dm A
You and her are the same

B
When we go out
D
You'll know someone is there
F# A
You will feel someone staring at you
D
You're on my mind
A
As I dream of the game
B
Where I'm rolling a hoop
E A (F7 E7 A)
And I turn around to find that you are gone
F#m B
Which was exactly like my mom
Bm
And I will go hang up my sailor suit
Dm A
And lie face-down on the lawn


A (F7 E7 A) F#m B...
Bm... Dm... A...

B
When we go out
D
You'll know someone is there
F# A
You will feel someone staring at you
D
You're on my mind
A
As I dream of the game
B
Where I'm rolling a hoop
E A (F7 E7 A)
And I turn around to find that you are gone
F#m B
Which was exactly like my mom
Bm
And I will go hang up my sailor suit
Dm A
And lie face-down on the lawn


A Bb B C Db D Eb E F... E

A (F7 E7 A)
I see you moving towards the door
F#m B
'Cause you don't trust me anymore
Bm
I need to find someone who's nice to me
Dm E
The way that you used to be
A (F7 E7 A)
And then I'm gonna call her You
F#m B
'Cause she'll remind me of you
Bm
I'm gonna dress her in a sailor suit
Dm A
That would look very cute

B
When we go out
D
She'll know someone is there
F# A
She will feel someone staring at her
D
She's on my mind
A
As I dream of the game
B
Where she's rolling a hoop
E A (F7 E7 A)
And she turns around to find that I am gone
F#m B
Which was exactly like her mom
Bm
And she will go hang up her sailor suit

And lie face-down on the lawn
