She told him tales about his soldier dad
        A            Am           Em   G A B7 C#7 F#

Teddy's going to see you through"

And she said, "Teddy don't worry, now mommy is here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don't worry, your mommy is here
Mommy's going to see you through"

This is the story of a boy named Ted
If his mother said, "Ted, be good", he would
