[Intro]
| C | D | C | D |

[Verse 1]
   D 
My warped and worried mind resorts
                                              |  C  |  A7  | 
To wandering off to ponder things I never talk about
  A7                                                             D
A pretty girl I used to know but wouldn't know if we met face to face
    D
And defying every logic known
                                         |  C          |  A7  | 
I wish all the time machine could take me back again
       A7
To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout
  A7                     D
Referring to her only as my little friend

[Verse 2]
D 
Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away
                                       |  C  |  A7  | 
The child has grown into a woman of the world
    A7                                                               D
I assume just knowing that she knew so much of life at such a tender age
  D 
I learned from her the whispered things 
                                 |  C  |  A7  | 
The big boys at the pool hall talk about
    A7
The thrill and disappointment fear and shame that first love brings
    A7                           D
But oh, how I thought I loved my little friend

[Interlude]
| C | D | 
 (Oooooh)
| C | D |
 (Aaaah)

[Verse 3]
    D 
The fragrance of the green grass 
        D                               |  C  |  A7  | 
Mingled with the scent of love and womanhood
    A7
The moonlight night I kissed and cried 
                                  D
And swore I'd never touch another girl
    D
But time moved fast and I moved on 
    D                           |  C  |  A7  | 
And I loved others time and time again
    A7
But with each time I thought of her and always gave a little more
  A7                                  D
A symbol of love'n'remembrance for my little friend


[Outro]
           A7                                  D
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of love'n'remembrance for my little friend
           A7                                  D
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of love'n'remembrance for my little friend
           A7                                  D
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of love'n'remembrance for my little friend
