Intro: D G Em7 B7 D E E A B E My brother said that I, was rotten to the core. E E A Gbm7 B I was the youngest child, so I got by with more. E E A B E I guess she was tired by, the time I came along. E E A Gbm7 B She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong. Gbm7 B E She would always save me, because I was her baby.
