Just a little boy in the town, town, town
(with lick 1)
Just a little boy with a frown, frown, frown.
In the afternoons he goes down, down, down
To the lonely room near the lost and found de-partment.
There s a little boy in every man s heart
Cdim7 D#dim7
Crying out, trying out.
As he rushes in to hear the band start,
Cdim7 D#dim7
So alone, in the crowd, in the crowd.
(with lick 1)
Just a little girl on her daddy s knee,
(with lick 1)
Just remember when she was one, two, three.
In a little while she ll want to be free,
And your little girl will be seventeen to-morrow.
There s a little girl in every daddy s heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7
Dreaming eyes, scheming eyes.
When she sings for you remember your part,
Cdim7 D#dim7
Listen up, when she cries, when she sighs.
(with lick 1)
(with lick 1)
There s a little child in everyone s heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7
Needing love, needing love.
There s a little child in everyone s heart,
Cdim7 D#dim7
Needing love, needing love.

after playing the B chord, play 2 single notes, F#, F, on E string to transition to the
Em chord. Just the E string is tabbed here: E:--2-1--|

A quick music factoid - going from Cdim7 to D#dim7, as tabbed here, the chords are
actually interchangeable. In other words, Cdim7 is also D#dim7, and vice versa. And both are
also F#dim7, and Adim7. By notating the song as 2 different chords, going from Cdim7 to
D#dim7, is just a way to show a change. I could have just as well as left it only as Cdim7
or D#dim7.
