Intro: Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and ending on the bass note.
SOL MIm
As sweet as a plum
DO SOL
And lovely as dawn
DO SOL RE
Rolling its tongue over its gums
SOL MIm
Like tiger and me
DO SOL
As happy as could be
DO RE
Sat out on the porch
SIm DO
As the whole of the sky
LAm RE
Clouds quietly over
SIm DO
And it starts to cry
LAm RE
Softly on my shoulder
LAm RE
We don't want to grow up
LAm RE
But we have to grow up
SOL MIm
As sad as I am
DO SOL
I do understand
DO SOL
I do understand,
RE
It just makes me sad
SOL MIm
My tiger my heart
DO SOL
We're growing apart
DO RE
We're trying to be friends
SIm DO
But it's hard sometimes
LAm RE
To be friends with something
SIm DO
That eats butterflies
LAm RE
And pencil sharpeners
LAm RE
And i think it would be
LAm RE
Happier being free
SOL MIm
My tiger my friend
DO SOL
My little godsend
DO SOL RE
I know someday we'll be happy again

Lovely little song about growing up, best played on a steel string acoustic.
