DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
She wakes up early every morning,
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
she gets up long before the sunshine,
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
greets the milkman who's still yawning
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
and reads the paper for a short time.
ADEm7DEm7
Calls the kids "Get out of bed",
ADEm7D
they never hear a word she says.
DEm7DEm7DEm7D
Husband stands to leave the table,
Em7DEm7DEm7D
she says "I hope you have a good day."
Em7DEm7DEm7D
he thinks "One day soon as I'm able,
Em7DEm7DEm7DEm7
I'll get a job where I get good pay."
ADEm7DEm7
They find it hard to make ends meet.
ABm
But they don't mention it, because they have each other
GA
and love is free, while they're supposed to be
DGDGDGA
too young to be married, too young to be free,
DGDG
too young to be married, but what can they do:
GDA
they were gonna have a baby.

After the kids have had their breakfast
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
now they're off to get some schoolin'
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
she cleans the house and makes the beds
DEm7DEm7DEm7DEm7
she starts to dream but knows she's foolin'
ADEm7D
she swears one day she'll stay in bed,
ABm
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working,
GA
'cause round and round inside her head she hears the words her mother
said:
DGDGDGA
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
DGDG
too young to be married, but what could they do:
GDA
they were gonna have a baby.
DGDGDGA
Too young to be married, too young to be free,
DGDGmaj7CDC
too young to be married, but what could they do?
