I put our little baby to bed last night

She was sleeping real good while

I tucked her in tight
  A^?
I looked at her once
       B
Then I looked at her twice
    F#m
Her little  legs  are longer
        B
And I'm running out of time
    F#m
The boys are gonna chase her
        A           B                 E
I'll be standing in line   our baby's gone
E
Up at 7:30 she comes into our room

She wants to make her breakfast

But she can;t find her spoon
A
We wake up and try to shake the sandman
B
Out of our eyes
               F#m                        B
She's already  got her clothes on much to our suprise
    F#m                          A       B          E
She did it all by herself and we realize our baby's gone
A                             E
Three years old and she's the queen of the world
B                       E
Humpty dumpty's falling down
A                           E
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
D                      A
Oh mamma what do we do now
E
Playing outside her little face to the wind

The hours go by her strength is wearing thin
A                                  B
She doesn;t call for daddy she's a big girl now
    F#m                           B
Her mamma looks in wonder and she don't know how
        F#m                              A
How our baby girl escaped us no more cuddling now
B           E
Our baby's gone
A                             E
Three years old and she's the queen of the world
B                       E
Humpty dumpty's falling down
A                            E
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
D                      A
Oh mamma what do we do now
            E
Our baby's gone
