G                                     G7 
When I was very young my mother often said 

        C 
I was a bashful kid my face was always red 

      G                   E7 
I was afraid of girls but now you see 
   
A7                         D7        G 
Law-dy law  there's been a change in me 

  
                                             G7 
Then at the age of twelve I went to my first dance 

          C 
We played kissing games and then I got the chance 

          G               E7 
To learn about how nice a kiss can be  
  
A7                    D7        G 
You know  there was a change in me 

  
                                        G7 
I started noticing the little girl next door 

             C 
I walked her home from school I never did before 

       G                 E7 
I even carved her name upon a tree  

A7                 D7        G 
Oh boy there was a change in me 

                                    
                                           G7 
I took to slicking up my hair with lots of goo 

            C 
And I would shine my shoes and look in mirrors too 

         G               E7 
Until my mother said why son  it's true  
  
A7                      D7        G 
Yes sir  there's been a change in you 

  
                                       G7 
As the years went by I sure did get around 

          C 
Why I was number one with all the girls in town 

        G                   E7 
I had a different date most every night 
  
A7                D7       G 
Whew  there was a change alright 

  
                                           G7 
But now I've met a gal who stole my heart away 

          C 
I'm gonna marry her and settle down someday 

           G                E7 
And if I'm true to her then I'll agree  

A7                    D7        G 
Ha Ha  there's been a change in me
