E                     F#m
And I will stroll the merry way
              A
And jump the hedges first
E                    F#m
And I will drink the clear
                    A
Clean water for to quench my thirst
E                      F#m
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
                 A
And they'll get high

On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

Chorus:
E               A
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
E               A
My, my, my, my, my sweet things

And I shall drive my chariot down your
streets and cry
Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite, and I don't know why
And you shall take me strongly in your arms again
And I will not remember that I ever felt the pain

We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet
All misty wet with rain down
And I will never, never, never grow so old again

Chorus:
Oh-uh-oh, you sweet thing
Oh-uh-oh, oh, you sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my

And I will raise my hand up into the night time sky
And count the stars that's shining in your eye
And just to dig it all an' not to wonder,
that's just fine
And I'll be satisfied not to read in
between the lines

And I will walk and talk in gardens all
wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever grow
so old again

Oh-uh-oh, sweet thing
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh, sugar baby
Oh-uh-oh, sweet thing
Sugar baby, sugar baby, sugar baby
With your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile
