Of (Em) just how lucky (G) we had been (A) for our time with (D) them

( 2 )

I re(D)member Mom and (A) Dad how (G) lucky we had (D) been

(Em) Even when they (G) thought we (C) needed disci(A)pline.

They’d (D) take us to a (A) fair a (G) movie or the (D) park

And (Em) chase away the (G) scary (A) monsters of the (D) dark.

( 3 )

I re(D)member Mom and (A) Dad made (G) sure that we got (D) fed
