Watching Scotty Grow - Bobby Goldsboro


C                    F                
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
       G                        C
What a handsome lad, That's my boy
C                F       
B-R-L-F-Q spells Mom and Dad
     G                         C
That ain't too bad, That's my boy

F                 G           C           Am
You can have your TV and your nightclubs
F                 G                C      Am
You can have your drive-in picture show
F                     G                C                   Am
I'll sit here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
F                  G               C
Bidin' my time,  watching Scotty grow.

C                      F          
Makin' a castle out of building blocks
      G                         C
And a cardboard box, That's my boy
C                      F              
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
            G                         C
Well that's quite a shock! That's my boy

    F                    G                 C      A
In four short years I've gone from rags to riches
    F          G                   C    Am
And what I did before that I don't know
   F                 G                 C             Am
So let it rain on my windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
          F                                     C           
And it's sitting here shining, Watching Scotty grow

          C                 F
Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
    G                       C
Old sleepy head, That's my boy
C                                  F
Got to have a drink of water and a story read
        G                           C
A teddy bear named Fred, That's my boy

F
What's that you say, Mama
G                    C        Am
Come on and keep you feet warm

      F                    G                       C   Am
Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
     F                     G
I'll think I'll stay right here
      C                      Am     
Say a little prayer before I go

F
Me and God a'
G               C
watching Scotty grow

F
Just me and God a'
G               C
Watching Scotty grow...
