[INTRO]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[C]When I was just a little boy like you
I wan[C]ted to do things the big boys do
Wher[F]ever they went you knew they wouldn't let me go
[C]And I got suspicious and I wanted to know
I was [G]bright in school but my future looked dim
'Cause the [C]big boys wouldn't let me party with them

[CHORUS]
[C]Yes, yes - I didn't cry - [C]yes, yes - and you know why
[F]Yes, yes - I knew when and what
[C]Yes, yes - no ifs, ands, or buts
[G] .... I was looking for joy - yes, y[C]es, yes, yes
When I was [C]little bitty boy

[SOLO]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 2]
All [C]of the big girls with their to
When I [C]ask 'em what's happening, nobody knew
But when [F]I found out where, what, when, and why
I [C]didn't let a single week pass by
Till the [G]school dance when I first met you
And I l[C]earned to party like the big boys do

[CHORUS]
[C]Yes, yes - I didn't cry - [C]yes, yes - and you know why
[F]Yes, yes - I knew when and what
[C]Yes, yes - no ifs, ands, or buts
[G] .... I was looking for joy - yes, y[C]es, yes, yes
When I was [C]little bitty boy

[SOLO]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 3]
If [C]I would have known what makes a world go 'round
I would have [C]known what goes up must come down
If [F]you love me like I love you,
[C]Mademoiselle you chimboy woo
The [G]girls want to stay and the boys want to play
So let's a [C]rock and roll till the break of day

[CHORUS]
[C]Yes, yes - I didn't cry - [C]yes, yes - and you know why
[F]Yes, yes - I knew when and what
[C]Yes, yes - no ifs, ands, or buts
[G] .... I was looking for joy - yes, y[C]es, yes, yes
When I was [C]little bitty boy
