My [Am]someday [C]coming [G]child,
I [Am]name and [C]I re-[D]name you.
I [G]make up memor[Am][C]ies for [D]you

And [Am]horse and [C]buggy [G]sounds out[D]side.

CHORUS
[G]But of the [C]someday coming [G]world,
I don't [D]know, I don't [G]know.
There is [C]so much I would [D]keep you from
[Am]If I, [C]if I [G]could.

My [D]fears
